For three years at the houston veterans affairs medical center, dr. bruce moseley and many others conducted a fascinating study of the effectiveness of arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee. the most intriguing part of the experimental study comes from the fact that they randomized the patients into three groups, one of which was a placebo surgery (fake surgery). watch the six-minute video clip below and comment in your groups discussion board what impact this study made on your personal perception of the placebo effect.

The placebo effect is a procedure in which a patient is made to believe that a drug has a direct on the person. Therefore improving his/her symptoms from the said disease that he/she is experiencing.

Hamlet's fourth soliloquy is probably his most famous one - "to be or not to be."it is rather different from his previous soliloquies because now he is contemplating something that didn't come up before - suicide. he is thinking whether it is worth it to fight to find his father's murderer when in the end all of them are going to die, so why not die sooner than later. he is contemplating if he should go on fighting or just kill himself and end it all, which is why this soliloquy in particular is rather depressing, hesitant, and gives a deeper insight into hamlet's madness.
