I agree. Not antibiotics. This is why pretty much anything ending in -cillin doesn't work on me. It was overprescribed to me as a child. My mother wouldn't even have to take us in sometimes. Other times, one kid would get strep, she'd call the doc and ask for scrips for all of us "just to be sure they don't get it".
Doctors routinely prescribe "placebos".

I have really mixed feelings about this. If it gives me relief, why should I care whether it's a placebo or not? (Be sure to read their definition of placebo.) But I'm also a big fan of informed patients. But if you tell them "Hey, this medicine really does nothing for your body" then you negate the placebo effect.
What do you guys think?
