Majority of Doctors Use Placebos, Survey Finds

A new survey of American doctors has found that about half of respondents give their patients placebo treatments, in many cases without informing them that the treatment won’t necessarily be helpful. The study, published in the online journal BMJ, surveyed a random sample of nearly 700 internists and rheumatologists of which about 60 percent said that placebo treatments were ethically acceptable. Studies in Britain, Denmark and Sweden have reported similar findings.  Chantal Britt, Bloomberg  10/24/2008 Read Article: Bloomberg

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
