Some studies have proven that placebos can work even when patients are aware they are taking a placebo drug.
Check out this story: A patient died from cardiac arrest after being given (unknowingly) a placebo instead of an adrenaline shot by paramedics. Such actions are unethical and borderline criminal!

Placebos are a common practice among many doctors. Unfortunately, most patients are not aware of this.
