Over the last several decades, the Food and Drug Administration has allowed pharma companies to sell hundreds of drugs to patients without adequate evidence that they work and, in many cases, with clear signs that they pose a risk of serious harm.

    You can do single-blind. You do prep, anesthetize, then open the card that decides if the surgery continues, or if the patient is simply awakened at the expected time.

    You can also do it for surgeries that use locals, but then the surgical staff has to do a lot of miming/acting instead of actual cutting.

    Medlife Crisis did a couple of Placebo effect videos, and mentioned that he participated in a single-blind stent study.

    I don’t know how you’d do double-blind.

      That a great take.

      Double blind could be a different team comes In and either does the surgery or fakes it. And this team also does or Fakes the after care.

      This team is never to communicate with patient or normal staff.
