Episode 541: The Great Placebo Effect or the not-so-Great Placebo Effect

In episode 541, James and Mike get into a powerful discussion of placebo. We talk about the evidence around placebo, the placebo effect, the placebo group effect/response and we try to put it all into the context of clinical practice. The bottom line is the placebo effect is likely not what you think it is, however, it is very important you know what it is and what it is not.
