"I have nothing against placebos, but I don't like the idea of doctors having to prescribe pills to patients because the patients are demanding a prescription (even if medically they don't need one (ex: have a virus)) or because doctor's ASSUME patients are going to want a prescription.
There's been an important shift in the relationship between doctors and patients in the last 20 years or so with the advent of medical information readily available online."
