The placebo effect is huge, my friend, and AMA-approved medicine is not exempt from it. You do realize that the last four gruelling years of your life, and those years ahead, will make you believe that you can cure people right? And that belief is also held by most patients. So, even if you screw up or in fact have no idea what you are really doing, you get the benefit of the placebo effect in almost every patient that believes that you will cure them.

You are as much a witch doctor as the holistic practitioners. It is likely that in 100 years, doctors will say that the medicine that you are practicing now was incredibly misinformed- no, not because you didn't believe in "some kooks", but because of everything that is continuously just wrong because we don't have all of the answers.

BTW- are you really a med school student? You misspelled therapeutic.
