In a research project at Harvard Medical School, a number of patients, who were all about to undergo similar operations, were divided into two groups.

The night before the operations the anaesthetist visited all the patients explaining all the procedures for the following day, but with one group she spent at least 5 minutes longer, sat on their beds and held their hands and was generally more sympathetic and warm.

After the operation, the patients who had received that brief moment of 'touch', required only half the amount of drugs that the other group received and they were also discharged from hospital earlier than the others. -
