- Description
- Text of a lecture to the Sphex Club in Lynchburg. This paper, presented by Jeffrey W. Wilson to the SPHEX Club, recounts the author's experiences as a Navy medical officer and the use of placebos, particularly "Obecalp," which is "placebo" spelled backward. It highlights the placebo effect's significance in medical practice, demonstrating its impact through anecdotes and broader discussions on mind-body connections, biofeedback, and patient-physician relationships. The paper emphasizes that a patient's belief and the doctor-patient relationship can significantly affect treatment outcomes.
