The trip to the doctor is thought of as a placebo here. Definition and origin Placebo is a Latin name which means I shall please. A placebo is a medically ineffective treatment for a disease or other medical condition intended to deceive the recipient into thinking of it as a real medication. Patients given a placebo treatment will have a perceived or actual improvement in a medical condition, a phenomenon commonly called the placebo effect or placebo response.
