Today I learned a new passage in my class.It's about the placebo works to heal the baby.When you go to the doctor,you like to come away with a prescription,It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine .But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed.Sometimes all a sick preson needs is some reassurance that all will be well.In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo. A placebo is a sugar pill,a harmless shot ,or an empty capsule.Even though they have no medicine in them .these things seem to make people well,The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better.
Other people say this is not ,they say that the placebo will not work if the patient knows it is a placebo .This shows that the body is not fooled by it.
WHAT DO YOU THINK????????

How are you Alicesnow? It is very amazed to read you article. Actually it is my first time to hear that. The placebo may work sometimes i think, because reassurance did help lot of patients to heal and recover confidence. But i don't it work in China, so the doctor having conscience are almost extinct. The hospital always encourage the doctor to cheat the patients in order to earn more money.
And I want to ask you a queation, are you a student and are you English major? Thanks
