Placebo blog post

I was going to write a proper blog post, giving in to the recent influx of demands from my audience of three (well, I know of at least three vocal members -- who knows how many more are lurking in the silent faceless mass?).

Then I came across this NHS-sponsored video of doctor and Grauniad columnist extraordinaire Ben Goldacre, MD, explaining the wonders and implications of the placebo effect. There's nothing I could say that could top it in terms of clarity and public interest, so I'll bow out for now and leave the stage to my betters. Ben, take it away.

Fascinating subject.

However, young G, this sounds very, very suspiciously like a "Sorry I'm busy at the moment, I'll be back soon" post. Which is something a certain Belgian told me off for doing, sometime recently. ;)

Ahem.

Hmph, it's nothing like that -- in this post, I actually give my readers something interesting and educational to entertain themselves with. So there.

Also, my being rubbish does not excuse your being rubbish ;-)
