“Eat your broccoli“ is benign enough advice to tell a breast cancer patient, but shouldn’t we tell her precisely the small effect of eating broccoli for progression and outcome of cancer? Is such advice simply giving cancer patients the illusion of control over their condition?https://twitter.com/clevelandclinic/status/977950991030149120 …

I did specifically state that it was in conjunction with evidence based interventions. I was more talking to bedside manner than any supposed miracle cure.

And what about patients who don't want an illusion of control? Informed consent should be required before this sort of psychosocial management is inflicted.

Asking patients to eat broccoli for the sole purpose to give them "something to do"?! What about giving us more scientific culture? So to better understand medical team's explanations, improve doctor-patient collaboration and our adherence to therapy, and really be helpful.
