Why are scientist using a placebo?
Scientists use a placebo to check that the variable they are changing actually is responsible for the results they see. It is like a control experiment, allowing you to compare the trial with it to see if there is any effect. It also counteracts the "placebo effect". For example, this is when someone taking a drug calims they "feel better" despite the drug not actually having any effect. Therefore, by giving some test subjects a placebo and some the drug being tested and not telling them which is which, you can eliminate the placebo effect from the test.

What is a double blind drug?
A double-blind study means that neither the test subject (human) or the researcher administering the study knows whether the test subject is receiving the experimental treatment or the control treatment. Often in human drug tests, the control treatment will be a placebo. This ensures that neither party can make any expectations as to whether they should or shouldn't be seeing results. This is important because sometimes researchers will botch their results to coincide with their hypothesis. This also ensures that both control and experimental groups experience the "placebo effect" more or less equally

Why wouldn't a doctor be notified if a patient is getting a placebo or a treatment?
In a double-blind test, if the doctor treating a patient knows whether the patient is getting a real treatment or not, they may (perhaps unconsciously) treat the patient differently, or worse let slip that the patient is taking the placebo. This will affect the results (as it changes the effect of the placebo) and can ruin a drug trial.
