Are you surprised that half of all doctors say they prescribe placebos?

According to an article in the New York Times recently http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/24/health/24placebo.html?_r=1&ei=5070&emc=eta1&oref=slogin half of all doctors surveyed reported they regularly prescribed placebos. Medical ethicists are dismayed by this information and so am I. How about you? What do you think about doctors prescribing placebos?
