Lightbulb The initial post to this thread is here.

It's a long story as to why the reply above is above this initial post to this thread.

If you were "educated" at the beginning of a clinical trial to not seek improvement while in a clinical trial...to not have HOPE...would you be able to remove Hope from your mind for the duration of your clinical trial, and not anticipate improvement?

If yes, why and how?

If no, why and why not?



Oliver Wendell Holmes
Beware how you take away hope from any human being.

H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.

Posted by Indigogo, in reply to Stitcher hard to deny hope
Wow! that is a GREAT question - I don't have an easy answer, of course.... but it's worth pondering and discussion. My doctor told me last week that she wants to do a study at our clinic on the power of hope; it's the real thing; it would be hard to deny - and almost criminal to ask you to deny it!

Great book on the topic: The Anatomy of Hope by Jerome Groopman, MD
