Outside the US, "surgery" can also mean a place where a doctor practices or surgeries are performed, not just the actual act.

This type of experiment is known as a single-blind study. In a single-blind study, the participants are unaware of whether they are receiving the actual treatment or a placebo, which helps to minimize bias in their responses. However, the researchers conducting the study know which participants are receiving the treatment and which are receiving the placebo. This design helps to ensure that any observed effects can be attributed to the treatment itself rather than participants' expectations.
