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.
