Case History:
Mrs. A.D. – 36 years old female suffering from Asthma since last 8 years. She was not responding to any of the conventional treatment. There was just mild relief but no improvement from Bronchodilator.
When I started interviewing this case, within few seconds she suddenly got up and walked out of the consulting room. Concerned by her behavior I followed her to enquire what happened? She said, “You are asking too many personal questions”. I convinced her that I would only be asking relevant questions to the treatment to help her. Concerned by her behavior I followed her to enquire what happened? She said, “You are asking too many personal questions”. I convinced her that I would only be asking relevant questions to the treatment to help her.
Again I touched her raw nerve by asking more details about family. She started to get up again and said you are asking too many personal details. Sure to be blocked out again I changed the line of questioning and asked her to tell me what she would do for a relief during an asthma attack? She said – “I sit up and throw my head backward – This is the only thing that gives me little relief – nothing else’.
Case Solution:
Dr. Shah was sure about prescription, i.e. medicine, Potency and Repetition. He chose the rubric from Gentry repertory only one medicine was given Hepar.
Medicine Selected:
HEPAR SULPHUR
Posology:
200 POTENCY, 1 DOSE
Follow-UP:
This patient never reported in her life. After about 3 weeks, she started sending many patients. Suddenly I had 20- 30 patients recommended by her in next 3 months. On inquiry from her friend I was told about her secret extra-marital affairs and which she was afraid of revealing. Another important fact she told that since the treatment she has not got an attack even once and that is the reason she is referring so many patient.
Inference:
This is Homoeopathy. Right medicine can produce totally miraculous cures. Single remedy prescription certain times is very useful to seek the cure.
