For the "but it's fiction" thing...I would like to point out, we can know something isn't so, but it's allright for the character to be ignorant of the fact it isn't so. For example, a character misidentifying a drug for something else can be explained later.

Also, would the "placebo effect" be allright for explaining some things?
