To be fair, medicine is most just theater making people feel cared for while their body heals itself. They could make the theater more elaborate and expensive, but to what end?

I already take the placebo effect directly; if I'm going the trouble of dealing with your travesty of a medical system, it's because that wasn't sufficient.

Maybe you misread my comment, but my point was that I’ve faced issues where without the non-placebo meds, my condition was not improving.

I’m also curious why you think medicine is placebo theater. Surely, you aren’t invalidating the concept of modern healthcare?
