This is a pretty amazing study - patients with "pretend" arthroscopic surgery fared just as well as those who actually had the surgery.

Wow, expensive surgery if it's not really doing good.

My friend Pete and I were just discussing this yesterday. So, when it comes down to it, surgery is only good when you have arthritis or a tragic event/injury.

Well goes to show how powerful the mind is and if you really believe in something you can convince yourself that it works.
