CNN: Government shutdown forces clinical trial patients to wait

Revelation 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"

Every week, hundreds of patients, including children with cancer, are admitted to new clinical trials through the National Institutes of Health.

But because of the government shutdown, newly registered patients are being put on hold until the government resumes operation.

“Due to the lapse in government funding… transactions submitted via the web site may not be processed, and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted,” a message on the top of the NIH website states.
