Placebos, Eddie.

i mean they're not though, placebos. that word. she was just saying it to be horrible, right before she wrote loser on my cast.

what do you think about placebos?

I think they can be very effective, if the person taking them believes that they work.

but they're not real, so how can they work if they're not real?

The human mind can be a very powerful thing.

[ takes a good five minutes to even try to figure that answer out.]

so you mean, if someone believes they'll get better then they will?

I certainly wouldn't put all of my faith in that kind of healing, but there is a great deal to be said for a positive attitude, no matter the source of it.

Of course, the opposite applies as well.

that sounds silly. who believes that kind of stuff? if that worked there would be no doctors left.

Medical science is often a necessary component, but it has certainly been shown that people with a positive attitude towards their recovery have a faster recovery rate.

Why the sudden interest?

my doctors are never positive so thats just weird.

someone at the pharmacy said something i had was one. but that can't be right because they wouldnt charge money for it if it was a placebo.

Perhaps you simply had poor doctors.

What was this supposed placebo?

[ Debates saying it for a moment. It's weird to think that such a vital and steady part of his life could even be fake. The thought of it alone is heinous enough.]

my asthma medicine.

I see.
If your doctors have confirmed that you have asthma, then this person was possibly just mistrustful of medicine.
