It's funny, just a few weeks ago a patient offered to invest his life savings in our company because he so believes in our mission and the value we provided. Unfortunately we had to turn him down, because our seed round closed a couple years ago :)

I would rather you turn down his offer because of professional ethics.

Consider taking a guy's life savings because he felt he benefitted from "the value you provided", and "believed in your mission"?

Every doctor on your staff knows most patients have no clue to why they are feeling better, and placebo plays a huge role.

Besides being unethical for a patient to invest all of their savings into your startup; I think it is illegial in most states? Along with being a beneficiary in a trust, or will?

Have a Licensed medical doctor respond to these questions.

You might have a great service, but you're not coming across well on HN.
