17. Pre-reading Questions

18. Pre-reading Questions • Can you offer the reasons why placebos do not always work? The success of the placebo treatment seems to depend a lot on the relationship between the doctor and the patient. If the patient trusts the doctor very much and if the doctor is actually expected to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work.

19. Pre-reading Questions • What are the bad effects of a placebo? If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they will show a bad reaction to the placebo as well. This would seem to show that how you react to medicine is in your mind instead of in your body.

20. Text Organization

21. Text Organization Para.1-2 Introduction -- What is placebo? Para. 3-7 The study of the placebo -- First group (led by a doctor): 70 %of them got better. Second group (led by a nurse): Only 25 %. Para.8-9 Different cases in which a placebo may work: The placebo has been found to work with seasickness, coughs, colds and pains after an operation.

Word association and story-telling Directions: Step One Work in groups to recall as many words as possible from the text “Is There a Doctor in the Body?” that are related to the field of medicine such as doctor, prescription, treatment, pill. Write down the words on the blackboard and see which group can get the most. You may also suggest words that do not appear in the text.

46. Word association and story-telling Sample story (1) Last summer, my friends and I decided to go mountain climbing. Our excursion up the mountain turned out to be a disappointing adventure. We began by following the long winding path that leads to the summit of the mountain. It was raining so it was very slippery in some spots. When we were half way up, one of my friends fell. He hurt his leg very badly. It bled a lot and it was so painful that he could not walk. We were sure he had a broken leg. With the help of several kind people we managed to carry him all the way down the mountain.

47. Word association and story-telling Sample story (2) When we reached the village, we were able to get a taxi to the hospital. The doctor cleaned the cuts and bruises and examined my friend’s leg very thoroughly. He said that it was not broken but that it would be very sore for some time and that it would take a while for the cuts to heal. Just knowing that his leg wasn’t broken made my friend feel much better. The doctor gave him an injection of antibiotics to prevent infection and told him that he would have to come back for more shots.

48. Word association and story-telling Sample story (3) Three days later we came down with terrible colds. We all had bad coughs so we went to see the doctor. He prescribed some cough medicine. He said that the medicine wouldn’t cure our coughs but that it would soothe our throats. Feeling tired and discouraged, we decided to leave for home.
