"Patients were evaluated at baseline and at 3, 9, and 15 weeks by a blinded examining physician"


blinded examining physician
What do they mean by blinded?

Its bad English anyway - but it means the physician didnt know what patient was at what stage or on placebo. So his results wouldnt be biased - it means it was a blind study - rather than a blind Dr
