A physician’s words have been found to be more effective in helping treat patients than previously thought. According to a new study, patients with allergic reactions saw a quicker reduction in their symptoms when their health care providers offered a few assuring words compared to patients who received no assurance from their physician. The researchers hope the findings will help our medical system place more value on reassurance and setting positive expectations for recovering patients.
