I don't care how nice he is, that doctor who gives his elderly patients placebos is a quack. There are probably docs in the U.S. who do it too but it's undoubtedly illegal and definitely unethical. I've read about doctors who do this with pain meds for cancer patients because they don't believe the patients have as much pain as they say, even if you have cancer, doctors won't believe you, forget depression. Doctors are jerks. Cecilia
