Placebos and the voluntary suspension of disbelief
Loved this
An excellent introduction to a book of yours I am excited to read.
Placebos are like being in a comedy club.
In the former, the expectation is of mythical modern medicine fixing the problem.
In the latter, the expectation is that the audience will be entertained into laughing.
Extract either patient or audience from its expectant environment and the result will be poorer.
Best doing it on Substack right now IMO. Thank you for your words, Rob. Brilliant.
Mind over matter!
