It was great to be running again after being sick for a week. Didn't seem to set me back too far and I will hopefully be back in form by monday for the first School's League orienteering race of the season. I decided to do them just for fun and for the experience.
Watching Grey's Anatomy brought to light an interesting ethical topic. Is it ethical to give someone a placebo in a clinical trial?
"The placebo has to be the doctor's greatest deception. Half of our patients we tell the truth, the other half we pray the placebo effect's real. And we tell ourselves that they will feel better anyhow, believing help's on the way, when in fact, we're leaving them to die."
