Is it that healthcare is mostly about placebo medicine and one just needs to be compliant with them as illustrated in this review by by Dave Sacket (aka father of Evidence based Medicine Downloaded from: http://www.jameslindlibrary.org/articles/why-did-i-become-a-clinician-trialist/

 written). One perspective is that Dave Sacket was being sarcastic about it but there are many more viewpoints on this that posit that indeed much of healthcare practice dwells on placebos with the physician as the strongest placebo.

Would an emerging model of evidence informed multidisciplinary collaborative and participatory healthcare pose a strong challenge to the sole-physician placebo-effect on the individual patient (aka the faith healing model of healthcare practice) or would evidence informed practice encourage less expensive placebos than those that are currently used under the garb of medicine (and end up more toward helping BIG PHARMA rather than small patients)?
