Good article on surgery as a placebo

Ran across this article and thought I'd share it:

Thanks. This so good to know. I wish more doctors followed the latest research instead of the ineffective, and sometimes harmful, treatment because they are the established treatment.

Going to send this to a friend who was thinking of knee surgery. Good stuff!!!
