Expensive Drugs Linked Patients Speedy Recovery

Clinical experience can be fun and sometimes unassuming, especially when some attitude of patients become illogical. How can you explain the fact that a woman refuses to leave the clinic unless my consultant prif possiscribe drugs that may not be of any use to her?

At other instances, some patient would return to the clinic complaining that the hospital pharmacy sold less expensive drugs to them, since they bought that same prescription in their last visit at a higher cost.

A man actually thought the more expensive analgesics prescribed for his condition did the magic!!



But a new study i read and published on journal Neurology seem to have the answer.Read the report here. The conclusion is clear! Patients expectations play a major role in the effectiveness of any treatment given.

Placebo is a therapeutic tool and if harnessed properly, we would reduce the dosage of drugs and its possible side effect.
