  • It is a Sehgal Third Degree Rubrics
  • Superstitious: Any belief having no logical background.

  • How to differentiate it with fear, superstitious and Anticipation?
  • Here we have to understand the psyche of the patient is that he has clear cut Fear in his mind about a problem he had suffered but has no logical background to convince when asked how can he say that in the coming winter he will get the same problem.

Version

My friend was cured by you.  It came to my mind that I should also undergo your treatment.  If you could cured him you will definitely be able to cure me. With this faith in mind I have come to you for treatment

Compare to Anticipation

  • In superstitious he correlates the things which were formerly responsible for his problem. If a patient has eaten sour thing last night and gets the problem next day he immediately relates it to sour things he ate last night
  • In "Fear superstitious" a patient visits a doctor when he has no problem at that moment. He visits just because of fear in his mind. His fear is about the circumstances responsible for his ailment in the past. He approaches the Dr. with a baseless idea that in future when he will pass through the same circumstances he will suffer from the same problem. E.g "Last time during winters I had severe joint pains. This time I approached you before the arrival of winters. I have a fear that during the coming winters I may suffer from the same problem."
  • In Anticipation a patient visits a Dr. when he has a few symptoms which are enough to correlate to the ailment he suffered in the past

Fear, superstitious

Rhus-t       

Someone has been getting an attack of a particular disease for the last few years, in a particular month of the year that's why he is fearing that certainly he will get the attack this year also.  No argument, no reasoning is sufficient to rid him of this idea which is troubling him
  • I have noticed that regularly on two three occasions in the past my pains come on Monday.
  • Therefore a day or two before the coming of every Monday I start fearing that the pains will come.
  • And it so happens that actually they come."  Although he laughed but with a concern and tried to stress
  • Sir do not take me lightly. I shall request you to do something for me."

Version

D: How can you believe in things which you have heard or seen but have no knowledge about it?

P: Sir, I am not a medical person. I believe in what people say. A few days back somebody suggested me to visit a temple and offer milk to the God. I did it.

D: Do you believe in such things?

P: Yes, I believe in God. I pray to the God and ask him to please get me rid of this problem.

D: What else have you done for your problem?

P: I have tried many treatments but nothing helped me. Instead the problem has increased. I am fed up with this. In fact I have no desire to take the medicine. I have become so depressed that I think it better to ignore

D: Now what made you come here for the treatment?

P: I had left all hopes. One of my friends visited me yesterday. He advised me to consult you. He told me that you are a highly experienced Doctor. You have cured so many cases like this. That encouraged and put hope of the possibility of a cure of my problem.
