In Good Shape - the Health Show

Season 5, Episode 17 of 52

Placebos are medicines with no active ingredients. But if we think that they work, they can have positive effects. In Good Shape talks to a psychologist about why fake treatments can work. Also: Why reading medicine information leaflets can make us ill - the so-called nocebo effect; how a 3D scanner can help make difficult surgery possible, and the right way to administer first aid.
