英国大部分家庭医生承认给病人开过安慰剂
<p>英国一项调查显示，大部分家庭医生都曾给病人开过安慰剂。受调查的783位全科医生当中有97%的人承认在病人来看病时建议过糖丸、补充剂或者对病症没有确定疗效的处方。他们表示，开安慰剂是因为病人要求开药或是为了让病人安心。研究人员表示，医生开安慰剂不一定是件坏事，因为他们这样做是为了帮助病人，而不是欺骗病人。不过，他们也警告说，有些安慰治疗可能会产生副作用，比如，如果服用太多维生素反倒可能对身体有害。皇家全科医生学院主席表示，只要不对病人造成伤害，价格也不贵，对病人使用安慰剂是完全可以接受的。</p><p><span word="Most">Most</span> <span word="family">family</span> <span word="doctors">doctors</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="given">given</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="placebo">placebo</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="least">least</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="patients">patients</span>, <span word="survey">survey</span> <span word="findings">findings</span> <span word="suggest">suggest</span>.</p><p><span word="In">In</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="poll">poll</span>, 97% <span word="of">of</span> 783 <span word="GPs">GPs</span> (<span word="general">general</span> <span word="practitioners">practitioners</span>) <span word="admitted">admitted</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="recommended">recommended</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="sugar">sugar</span> <span word="pill">pill</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="treatment">treatment</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="established">established</span> <span word="efficacy">efficacy</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ailment">ailment</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="patient">patient</span> <span word="came">came</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="with">with</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="PLOS">PLOS</span> <span word="One">One</span> <span word="study">study</span> <span word="authors">authors</span> <span word="say">say</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="may">may</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="bad">bad</span> <span word="thing">thing</span> - <span word="doctors">doctors</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="doing">doing</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="help">help</span>, <span word="not">not</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="deceive">deceive</span> <span word="patients">patients</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="Royal">Royal</span> <span word="College">College</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="GPs">GPs</span> <span word="says">says</span> <span word="there">there</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="place">place</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="placebos">placebos</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="medicine">medicine</span>.</p><p><span word="But">But</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="warn">warn</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="sham">sham</span> <span word="treatments">treatments</span> <span word="may">may</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="inappropriate">inappropriate</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="cause">cause</span> <span word="side">side</span> <span word="effects">effects</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="issues">issues</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="drug">drug</span> <span word="resistance">resistance</span>.</p><p><span word="For">For</span> <span word="example">example</span>, <span word="one">one</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="placebo">placebo</span> <span word="treatments">treatments</span> <span word="identified">identified</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="study">study</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="antibiotics">antibiotics</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="suspected">suspected</span> <span word="viral">viral</span> <span word="infections">infections</span>.</p>
