Wait, if it’s double-blind, wouldn’t the scientists be unaware of whether he got a placebo or the real drug? Although I suppose this could be after the study has concluded. I would bet that in real studies they record the side effects reported before checking to see if it was the placebo or not!

Single blind studies do exist though… For some reason.
Yes, I think some treatments cannot be done without the scientist knowing.
