That is seriously f'ed up.
Likewise, the fact that we're better at checking for serial credit card applicants than serial test patients.
The research itself is full of bad incentives. Ben Goldacre has frequently suggested a database of all clinical trials, including failed ones. He has a raft of newspaper columns on the hows and whys of bad science in medicine. Professional patients are the very least of it.
