Guys!
Remember the last time you told one of your friends "Doctor
said you gonna die!". Well ... enter the "Norcebo Effect".
Not very nice!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo
"In medicine, a nocebo (Latin for "I shall harm") is a
harmless substance that creates harmful effects in a
patient who takes it. The nocebo effect is the negative
reaction experienced by a patient who receives a nocebo.
Conversely, a placebo is an inert substance that creates
either a positive response or no response in a patient
who takes it.
Okay now, which one of your guys is GONNA DIE!
The one with the snake bite.... anyone remember the joke?
I wondered if anyone would catch that reference!
