Subject: Ethics regarding placebo/homeopathic "medicines"
I would like to know if their is any medical consensus
(or consensus within this group) regarding the ethics
of the following:
1: Prescription of placebo medications when the patient
did not specifically request any sort of treatment.
2: Selling a placebo medication for a profit.
3: Prescribing homeopathic remedies without advising
a patient of their "controversial nature".
4: Representing homeopathic remedies as "over the counter"
medications.
Thanks,
Nick Ingegneri
