The Odd Connection Between Placebos, Peeping Toms and Babe Ruth Autographed Baseballs. 

Do you see it? If you are the victim of a dishonest doctor who takes advantage of your susceptibility, a pervert outside your window, or a thief/forger who steals the baseball and replaces it with a counterfeit, you are only harmed if someone tells you it happened. Should they?

No further explanation needed. All comments welcome.

  1. I would say yes in most, but not all, cases. In regards to the dishonest doctor, it might not be optimal to tell the patient, on the assumption that there is also a mental aspect to healing and the bad news could impact that. But I would think that it would be advantageous to tell the person’s family or close friend in case the patient would benefit by seeing a different doctor, or they know other friends or family members who are also seeing this doctor, or if they want to consider a lawsuit.
    In regards to the peeping tom, I would lean to also advising the person to be sure that their shades are drawn when they are changing just as a smart thing to do without necessarily embarrassing them with the truth.
    In regards to the fraud, I would say yes again as without this knowledge, the person may make some decisions which have adverse consequences for other people – like having their will leave the valuable house to one child and the worthless baseball card to their other child.

  2. Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
