My dad was a pill-o-phile. He would take any medicine from any pill bottle if he had any ache or pain.

A conversation between my parents...

Mom: "What is wrong with you?"

Dad: "I have a tickle in my throat that is making me cough"

Mom: "No, what is WRONG with you? These are my prescription menopause pills!"

Everything a person experiences is filtered through the perceptions of the mind. Thus the prophylactic joy of the placebo.
