Version 1

  • Light desires for
  • Carried, desires to be fast
  • It is very rare that someone approach a homeopath as a first priority in case of an emergency. In one way it is a normal thinking for anyone who has some severe emergency problem related to him or family members to make an immediate attempt to get rid of the problem as quickly as possible. There is another notion in the mind of people that homeopathy is good for chronic cases that is why in case of emergency they cannot think of visiting a homeopath.
  • A lady, 40 years, came to me and said, "Today after lunch I felt some burning sensation while passing urine.

  • P: "For now I want both, I want you to give me some strong medicine, which could bring me out of this trouble in a short time, as it is unbearable, and I am not able to sit or do anything". And also I will be happy to know in case you could tell me how come I have got this problem.
Objective reasonable D: How come you have decided to visit me?

P: I always like to take homeopathic medicine whenever I have some trouble. For the last many months I did not need to visit the doctor as I was healthy. First I thought of taking allopathic medicine to get quick relief, but I thought to first try homeopathy as I always prefer to take it first in case I get some trouble.

P: As you are nearby so I thought of approaching you as my homeopathic doctor whom I used to visit lives far away.

P: Please give me some good medicine which can at least bring the problem down if not remove it completely.

D: Why you do not take allopathic medicine?

P: She laughed and said, "It can give relief for a short period, and as I know and have experience that the problem will come back again." "Also I do not like the taste of allopathic medicine; homoeopathic medicine is nice to take it."

D: I told her, it could be urinary tract infection due to unhygienic conditions.

She mentioned, that it could be as she had used

public toilet a day before.

Version 2

Comments:

Why I am telling you this, because these situations you may also have to face. You have to be very honest and open with your patient.

Don’t involve yourself in a false prestige. If you are open with your patient his confidence, in you, gets more firm If you feel you are not in a position to take up a case you should straight away refuse and apologize for your inability. After all you are also a human being at times you may not be in a position to perform as expected.

It was 13th of Jan 95 I received a phone call by a patient at my residence. The caller was an old patient now cured.

He said Sir, “I want to give you a trouble".

D: What is that?

Dear Sir, one of my near relatives is on death bed.

Cutting short I told him that this is my lunch time please call me when I will open my surgery.

Sir, it is urgent, I don't think he will survive till the opening of your clinic. All right, but the difficulty with me is that at present I am having fever upto 103 degree. I don't think I shall be able to do anything in this condition. Moreover, it is since a year now that I have stopped accepting out - door appointments to reduce the load of work on me.

My dear Sir, he said, "We can do one thing, you remain at your place and I shall come to you along with the patient's son. I am confident of your ability. I have personally talked to and observed the patient. Since I am conversant with your method of case taking, I think I shall be able to answer your questions correctly. I am sorry for the inconvenience, he added further but it is worth taking, who knows just a single dose from your hands may give him life and fame to the potential of Homeopathy”.

The son of the patient started relating the history. He said, "It is almost a year now that the patient has been suffering from cough with pain in the chest without any relief. He was on allopathic medicine. After investigations in Nov. 94 it was found that he had cancer of the lungs and liver. Since liver was involved the idea of surgical treatment was set aside.

Chemotherapy was suggested which was started immediately. After taking the first course of chemotherapy the patient started feeling its very strong adverse effect on his mind on the very next day.

For the 1st time in his life he expressed his desire to absent himself from his business for that day.

S. What is the matter? He was asked.

F. Nothing. Just that I will take rest today

Quiet, wants to be repose and tranquillity desires

In the evening when we wanted to discuss with him something about our business.

F: He said no, we will do it tomorrow.

S: The next day also he said we will talk about it some other time and gradually day by day the stage came when he totally closed the door for anything to mention about the business.

Unconsciousness, interrupted by screaming

  • Fear, death of
  • Del, die he was about to
  • Starting, fright from
  • Frightened, easily, waking on
  • Anguish, weeping when
And in a few days time we found him occasionally taking to a different type - of mood of talking to himself, "I can't be saved” and would cry out loudly in a state of fright. “I'll die soon, I'll die soon, I'll die soon".
  • Hide, things
  • Frivolous
  • Light, desires for

And in the end would start weeping when asked what was he talking about, he would quickly wipe out his eyes and say nothing, nothing and try to normalize his mood, and laugh.

Rage, medicine from forcible administration of (1)

The other side-effect of the treatment was that he lost his appetite, an MD in medicine was consulted. He prescribed and changed many medicines which did not work.

Obviously he was not accepting any food. When argued that in the opinion of doctor, he must try to eat something, even if he was not hungry.

He would get annoyed at this suggestion and would say, “Do you think I am a fool, I too know that the food is essential for existence but how to eat without any appetite. You want to force things through my throat that I can’t do”. Says with extreme anger.

As this state was continuing the time for the next course of chemotherapy arrived

The second course took away his sleep. He felt extremely tortured and desperate and started crying as a mad person.

"Bring, me sleep, Bring, me sleep".

He was prescribed Tranquilizers and pills for sleeping. Gradually raising the quantity of the drugs. But even the heaviest doses could not help.

Instead the over drugging done under the condition of helplessness gave tragic side affect, it disturbed his motor system. His right arm and the leg started jerking very severely which added further to the worsening of the condition of his sleep so strong was the urge for sleep that when at times there came spells of feeling that perhaps he could sleep he would beg everyone to leave his room instantly and put off the lights

  • Carried , desires to be fast
  • Light, desires for
  • Attention, wants
  • Feigning sick
But the jerking would not allow the effort to succeed. Within moments after realizing the uselessness of his attempt he will like everyone to come back in his room with the same speed with which they were sent out.

Then he would want each and every member of the family to be in attendance on him.

Someone should press his head others his hands and arms and still others his legs and feet etc.

Del, sensations misrepresents his (1)

The other problem that developed was the prostration of his prostrate glands. He would get a strong desire for urination very frequently and would like to be helped to the toilet at once. Most of the time the urge for urine would turn out to be false and remorsefully would tell the nurse Oh! I have unnecessarily bothered you.

The other thing is that he lost his speech and hardly could muster a word out of his tongue. The patient was a well to do person and could afford to appoint all types of medical expertise to be available to him at short notice at his residence. He had also developed family relation with them who would oblige him with courtesy calls to console him.

  • Laughing, speaking when
  • Quarrelsome, without anger
  • Light, desires for
  • Jesting, ridiculous or foolish
When someone of them would come to him he would laugh and tell them in a quarreling way, without disturbing his own mind.

A case of a girl belonging to Israel. She is in her early 20's comes to me with her family physician and tells that her mother has sent her to him (family physician).

D: What for has your mother sent you to ?

P: My mother says, I am a mental patient.

D: Do you believe your mother?

P: I don't know (as if she doesn't know her mind) perhaps yes, if she says then it may be true.

D: Do you believe you have any problem? P: Yes, I do believe.

D: What is your problem?

She knocks on her head with the forefinger of her right hand as if putting pressure on her head and after a pause says with a haste, as if quickly to wind up, "I don't know".

D: How did your mother conclude that you are mentally sick?

P: Because I remain sad and quiet all these days.

D: What else do you do throughout the day?

P: Just lying down and doing nothing, thinking, thinking, thinking, and ultimately when I get nowhere, I try to go to sleep.

D: Do you get relief after sleep and feel fresh?

P: Yes, of course it is so.

D: What remains the subject of your thinking?

P: She laughs as if shy of her condition of mind and of divulging the topic of her worry. After a pause, she starts with the same typical laugh with hesitation, shame and shyness says, " I have a boy friend, I get a feeling of burning in my vagina after I have met him (sexual intercourse), but this is not the real problem" hurriedly she adds and jumps over to what she has to tell next.

"Actually that is not the problem". Again she takes a pause, and restarts, “He loves me a lot". He is a very good boy, very honest and really loving but there is one bad thing. He wants me to wear showy and shiny dresses tailored in a manner keeping one's body half-naked. This I don't like. It is an extreme for me. I can adjust to some minor variations in my liking but can’t give up all. This is putting me into a fix. I am not able to decide whether to discard the boy or my own liking.

D: What is the difficulty? P: I become fearful when I think of leaving him

D: Why do you fear that?

P: I am definite, that it will take away from me the pleasure which I derive from the association with him and if I decide to continue with him I shall be losing my freedom (of choice how to live and dress myself) for the whole of life.

She continues, "And apart from this I am interested to make a final decision as early as possible because this is hampering my studies which will mean failure in the examination and ultimate financial loss to my parents which I myself don't like. More-over they may all be annoyed and rebuke me for my bad performance and all this cumulatively will be taking away my peace of mind."

Mr. Y, 52 yr.

Copper colored scales with wet gluey matter, form and drop after scratching and in a chain go on recurring was diagnosed as Psoriasis. Suffering since 1994.

Enters my room, sits in front of me and without waiting for me to ask him anything he lifted the covering of his body laden with thick scaly matter and started scratching it. He sat so closed to me that I had to tell him to keep a little distance.

P: Sir, tell me frankly is this curable?" And in a very curious manner he asked me, Sir If you don't mind may I ask have you cured any case like this before. I have come with a great hope. Somebody has told me that you can cure me. His gestures were embarrassing as he was spreading the scratches of his skin around. I told him to keep his body covered and stop doing all that and assured him that I could judge even without seeing his skin, the volume of his suffering? He simply needed to answer to what he was asked.

But he kept on doing and said "Sorry, Sir I am sorry, but it itches like anything and I can't stop scratching it". Perhaps forgetting about the surrounding.

D: Do you get relief by scratching? P: Yes

D: Where it ends? P: Only after when it starts weeping.

D: How do you feel there after?

P: Very bad. I get angry with myself and determine not to do it again but when it starts itching I can't hold myself.

D: What else do you do to comfort yourself?

P: By applying coconut oil. That is only when I am at home.

D: What is your job? P: I am a travel agent.

D: How do you manage it when you are at work?

P: I have to rush back home.

D: Do the business people know about you?

P: How can I do that. People will start hating me. No one will allow me to sit by his side. Thank God it is not on the face.

D: But you have it on your hands?

P: Of course, but it is on a small portion and I am able to cover it. I had it on my face but somehow it is no more now after the Allopathic treatment.

D: What do you do after coming back home?

P: I change my dress scratch a lot and go to sleep there after

D: How do you feel after sleeping? P: Better.

D: Since how long have you been suffering from it? P: Since early 1994.

D: What is the impact of sufferings on your mind?

P: Nothing If I have to suffer, I have to suffer. But this time his eyes were wet.

D: Do you weep also? P: That stage has not come , I am still strong.

D: But your eyes are wet? P: “That is nothing Sir, that is nothing”, wiping he said and laughed to cover his weakness.

D: Well now you need to listen to me attentively. If my medicine is correct its test would be that it would give you relief in all respects in the first instance. Then thereafter the same complaints will come back anytime, but the intensity, duration and frequency will be lesser and within your endurance.

P: He asks with great concern - “Will it come back on my face also?”

D: May or may not be.

P: Sir, it will be very difficult for me to pay attention to my business. The meager livelihood which I am earning will suffer because it will mar my movements I won’t be able to move about openly in public.

Dr. tries to prevail upon him and acquaint him with the right course.

D: I do realize your difficulty. But how long will you be pleasing yourself with the falsehood because day by day the disease will be multiplying itself, unless it is fought on the right lines. So you have to prepare yourself, mentally for the right priorities

P: Alright Sir. But can you give me guarantee that I shall definitely be cured.

(Here the patient seems to be finding himself in no get away position and is trying to yield to a forced compromise).

D: It is only the God who can give guarantee. We are all human beings we can simply make efforts and I believe, He rewards if the efforts are honest and sincere with devotion.

P: Sir, for me you are the God I need your kindness. have full faith in you. I think I will be cured.

D: Why have you faith in me?

P: One is your fame and the other is your plain talk.

Mr. K. 60 years an Industrialist running many Homeopathic Dispensaries on Charitable basis. Fungal infection on thighs, Hypertension and angina on effort.
  • While entering my chamber gave very pleasing appearance with humility and started on his own without waiting for any incentive to talk to me, as if with a lot of hope from me.
  • Mentioning the name of one of the old student, by whom he was refereed
  • P: I am suffering from fungal infection and I am under allopathic treatment for the last two years and want your proper attention”. Hesitantly he says, "I have great faith in Homeopathy but because of no relief by Homeopathic medicine I had repeatedly to fall back on allopathy
  • I am suffering from Hypertension for the last 10 years and angina on effort for the last 6 years but they are not bothering me too much. I am not worried about them. It is the skin allergy that bothers me much, which I am having since childhood.
  • D: How it effects you? P: It comes between me and my business very badly.
  • D: Are you not attending to your business?
  • P: I do, I do, but not with full enthusiasm, because when the attack comes, it puts me into a very awkward position because when I am talking to the customer, I have to make a lot of effort to check myself from scratching, to conceal it from him (customer). And apart from this it gives me a lot of agony and at this point tears came out from his eyes.
  • Helping him to cover up his present mental state which I observed he was trying to manage. I said, “How do you take life in general? I am with no problem, that I want. I am getting all I command a lot of respect not only from my own children but also from those of my brothers’.
  • Being the eldest in the family they all honor my decisions given in settlement of mutual disputes. Temperamentally I love peace all around me and that is why I try to see that every strife is settled amicably.
  • D: What will you like to do during the attack?
  • P: Rest in a quiet atmosphere. His look gave me the impression that he was anxiously waiting for me to say something positively without delay. And without waiting for me he asked me passionately, “Shall I be cured.”
  • D: Do you mean quick relief?
  • P: A bit hesitant with shyness he admitted indirectly if it could be so

  • D: Why have you come to me?
  • P: It is pleasure to meet you, laughs vigorously. You are a friend. Like this with every word he speaks, he displays a sense of extreme happiness and vigor
  • D: Since when he is suffering from this disease? I asked his son.
  • P: It is since one year.
  • D: Is he going to office? P: No.
  • D: How he passes his day? P: There are sudden changes in his behavior.
  • P: Sometimes he will say, “Let nobody talk and make any noise, let me sleep”, tries to lie down and after a few minutes becomes talkative with irrelevant speech, and if he is told please keep quiet then he will say - Alright, alright and will try to go out and catch hold of anyone who meets him on the road and start talking to him, reminding him that they are old friends, which is contrary to the fact. To divert his attention, when people tell him go home - your kids are calling you. He will believe them, come back and ask us - have you called me, and when we plead innocence - will start arguing with us. He easily believes others and anybody can mislead him. “He has always been accommodating”, his wife tells about his past behavior. He takes things lightly. Never bothered about even very serious matters. Very kind and charitable to others.
  • D: What in your opinion can be the cause of the derangement of his mind?
  • P: Actually he was due for promotion. He had very good personal rapport with his boss and had full faith in him for his support but was highly disappointed and shocked to find a junior superseding him. But he never likes to talk to anyone about it. Apart from his main disease we are worried about his practice of masturbation even in the daytime and for many times in a day and when he is caught red-handed he promises not to do it again but he fails to keep the promise. The other thing is he will always compel his son to sleep with him in his bed.
  • D: Have you ever refused him sex? I asked his wife.
  • P: Hesitatingly she admitted that was true, because of-late he was too demanding to coup with.

Psoriasis since 1978.

Learned about my method of treatment and requested through a colleague Homeopath to spare a little time to give him an appointment at my earliest. As I was over busy in giving a seminar to the Homeopaths of the area, no time could be spared and he was advised to contact me in Delhi. I took it - that the matter was settled for the moment but he surprised me, when during the live case demonstration, I received a chit (slip of a paper) that he wanted to talk to me about something in general for which he would need only one minute.

He was allowed, he came on the dias and was asked, what did he want to say?

In reply he extended his legs and said about this.

D: About this, you were advised to contact me later on?

P:I am in a great discomfort he said and wept, you

D: What is making weep P: It is the discomforting thought of the disease because being a member of the family of Drs. I know it is not curable and I have to suffer for the whole of my life.

D: Are you doing your duty well?

P: Not at all

D: Then how do you manage your affairs?

P: It is through my subordinates.

D: Does any body in your office know about your sickness?

P: No.

D: What do you do when you get attacks of disease on duty?

P: I rush to my residence on some false pretext.

D: What is your desire during the attack?

P: To stop doing anything and take rest.

D: Anything else?

P: I want my wife to be with me.

D: What do you expect from her?

P: Just sitting by my side and helping me to sleep.

  • He started, “Sir, one of your senior students has recommended me to you. Even otherwise also I have a great faith in homeopathy. Although I have been treated by many homeopaths of repute in vain still I have not lost faith in homeopathy."
  • D: Oh! Welcome! Welcome! Sit down please, I told him.
  • P: Before he started talking about himself, his eyes became wet. “What to say?” He said, I am so perturbed when I think of no end to my disease.

A case of Anxiety Neurosis accompanied by her husband, parents, in-laws and many relatives.

D: What is your problem P: I have no problem. D: Taking her into confidence I told her I have sent everybody out so that you should be able to talk to me freely and let me understand your problem. P: It is better, you ask them who brought me here D: In a persuasive way I told her it will be better if you disclose your mind because unless I know the truth I wouldn’t be able to help you. P: They think I am mad. D: In a light vein I said why at all they should think in this term.

At this she became almost hysteric and fixing her eyes on me with terse looks she said, Anybody in my place will become abnormal whose life has been ruined.”

P: Then she becomes milder and says: “What is it instead of replying my question you are laughing, laughing and laughing.

At this I called her husband in and asked him: “She says you think she is insane, what have you to say about it."

Concealing the fact he said, “Actually she has lost her sleep.” D: Since when? P: It is for the last 2-3 weeks. Sleeping pills and tranquilizers have no effect. Who will not loose his sleep like one in me who has lost everything and what will the medicine do? You tell me sir, but I am telling you I am not going to keep quiet, come what may. D: What is it she is referring to that she has lost everything? I asked her husband. P: Hesitatingly he came out, “ I have a sister-in-law my elder brother’s wife who brought me up since I lost my parents in early childhood. She is like my mother and expects me to visit her daily.” She interrupts: “Forgetting me altogether I ask you why have you married me at all? D: “Where your sister-in-law lives?” P: Just on the 1st floor of our house. D: How long do you stay with her? The whole night, she interrupts again in a Quarreling mood. P: The reason is that she is alone in the house since my brother has expired. She doesn’t feel like cooking unless there is someone else to share the meals with her. That is why she keeps the food ready and waits for me till I am back from my work." D: And thereafter? P: Then she will like to have some conversation about my business and the progress made in my various projects and frankly speaking while we are talking, sleep over grips me and at some occasions it is morning when I awake.” Do you feel I am a fool? His wife interrupts. Don’t compel me to open my mouth. I know what transpires between both of you. I gave indication to her husband to keep calm and let her speak what she has in her mind because for me to select her remedy her version is important. I sent him out. D: When were you married? P: We have two children, she said. D: But you lost your sleep since only three weeks back? P: “In the beginning I didn’t realize all this and took everything lightly. Although I was doubtful of the intentions I took it in the poor light and disposed the little bit of illicitly as permissible. Another reason is that during my pregnancies I was mostly away with my parents and the extent of their relationship didn’t come to my notice. It is since one year now that the reality became apparent to me. I started feeling concerned and now in the end when all my appeals to my husband turned to be on the deaf-ears. I have lost all faith in him and scared of leaving him alone even for a day.” D: What will you like me to do for you?

P: I am having headache and a sort of loss of strength D: What efforts do you make to manage yourself? P: I try to remain alone, calm and quiet and beat the children if they make noise, keep lying in my room. At this she wept. D: Why are you weeping? P: Because of the discomfort, which I get when by recalling my act of beating my children who actually deserve to be loved

Mr. O. 55, Businessman, Mental depression.

diabetic sleepless, constipated, anorexia (loss of appetite), Arthritis. Went into coma - hospitalized and recovered upto the present stage - declared no possibility of further recovery - failure in business is the possible cause, they say - shock syndrome. They were told, the patient would recover but will have to pass through all the stages including coma etc. in the reverse order of their coming, and they agreed.

D: How do you do? P: I have no problem, I have no problem and he tried to repeat these words at the top of his hoarse voice which was hardly audible and continued - my children are very good My daughter-in-laws are very good, he repeats these words many times and weeps. D: Why are you weeping? P: I don’t know, he says and becomes silent. In the meanwhile his wife comes in and he starts speaking about her - she is very good lady, takes care of me well, she is a great asset of mine. His wife tells that he is making a false statement, actually his behavior, with me, is very hostile. At this revelation he startles as if he was not expecting this exposure. He took time to come back to himself, and said, Addressing her with a cover in a very mild language "Madam you know I am a sick person therefore you should not mind when at times I do not behave with you in a reasonable manner. You, perhaps will agree with me that I am not bad at heart”. His wife shots back, “Leave it, leave it, don't try to be smart”. At this he laughs and keeps quiet. His wife continues complaining, “He makes a lot of noise whenever in pain or his demand is not met. For example he is diabetic and he insists for ice cream. At first he will beg and pray in a very humble way promising that he will not ask for it again, the Promise which he never keeps and when he finds this trick not working he starts weeping and when ultimately he does not succeed, he will break things and will take to abusive language as if forgetting all norms.

D: At present what treatment he is taking?

P: None at the present, because he refuses to take the allopathic medicine

D: Why do you refuse to take the allopathic medicine?

P: I don’t like it. You have to specify your statement whether it gives you some trouble or it is unpleasant while taking?

D: Yes, it is not palatable. But he is very particular about his sleep. He accepts only sleeping pills which he must have. And will like calm and quiet atmosphere while he is trying to sleep

Mrs. P. 82 years of age, wife of an old patient classical homeopath. Arthritis for the last many years. Bed-ridden for the last 2 years. Cannot walk. For toilet etc. has to be helped, ease on commode near her bed. Till the time of case taking she was on allopathic drugs. The honored college mentioned that she had the history of TB pleurisy, used nosode including Tub. Her husband had attended one of my seminars. He was impressed and decided to refer her case to me.
When I entered her room she welcomed me with folded hands, as a traditional Indian lady and. As she was lying on the bed, she tried to sit up to co-operate with me. What I saw, she was extending her hands towards her toes as if making efforts to undertake an exercise. Her husband addressed her "buck up" ’buck up". She was annoyed and re-buffed " Yes I am leaving no efforts to raise myself up as much as I can and will not ask for any body's help and Suddenly she started addressing me "Dear sir I am not insane. She cried at the top of her voice and repeated many times". (At this I requested everybody else to leave the room,) and they went out.

D: Who told you that you are insane? P: This I can't tell you, she said. D: Why?

P: Since the disease has rendered me dependent on others I cannot open my mouth against them. D: But there is no one else now in the room and all that you will tell me will remain between you and me. At this she started coming out. P: "All of them want to poison me". D: How do you know? P: They mix up something in the water. (As the family had good cultural and civil background, I could not believe it). But how can you say that? P: It is the taste and the reaction, after I take the water supplied to me, it tastes bitter and creates restlessness. D: Do you experience it every time you take the water? P: No, it is only when I cry with pains. But Almighty is with me. I know nothing will happen to me because he comes to my aid, when I am in trouble. He has saved me in the past also from far bigger dangers than this. Some times I pray and beg for HIS help. He forbids me to do so and commands, you must bear it treating it as a consequence of your past deeds. Here she laughs as if taking everything lightly and says I don't blame anyone except myself. D: Why? P: I should have been careful while doing bad deeds. D: Do you think, you have done any? P: Otherwise why at all this, therefore one is compelled to conclude in this way. She wept saying there is just one thing, which discomforts me. It is the idea about my son the person who is the product of my own womb, is also collaborating in the conspiracy to poison me. After a pause she comes to herself and talks in a light mood as if a normal person, " My husband is a very nice person, I have full faith in him and that is why also in you". I hope you will at least help me to end my dependence on others. (A physiotherapist had advised her to take exercises and try to help herself rise up) through her angry remarks she is conveying that the general impression in the house is that she pretends to be sick which is not true because she finds it impossible for her to act according to the instructions of the physiotherapist. ِD: How do you like this atmosphere? P: I don't like it. I shall like to go back and join the people of the area from where I have retired as a nurse and serve them as before. D: Why? P: Because that will give me peace of mind. D: Do you want to earn your own living? P: No, for that my pension is sufficient. Actually serving people gives me satisfaction. I shall be doing free service.

Mr. R. 46, working as a treasurer in a Patient:- Govt. University, was brought to me on 29th of ct. 1993. He was under the treatment of allopaths for the last many months for Schizophrenia.

From the very beginning, he was very shy to mix-up with the people. Taking not much interest in studies. To overcome his shortcomings he never got any support from his parents. In addition to it he had stammering for which naturally he was laughed at. All this made him introvert. He,would not like to move about in society and would not like to visit any relative, always like to remain at home. Somehow he acquired desired qualification to get the job which he was doing now, was married and had children.

  • On the day he was brought to me he was refusing to take any medicine. He said he was alright.
  • He said, “ I was suffering because of my own fault, I believe in honesty and uprightness while at work and don’t believe in taking bribes in return for claims made on false grounds and because of this I am not liked by my colleagues. Many times I get angry with myself and beat my head. Perhaps I am afraid of getting bad name.
  • The same is my position in my family specially with my wife because she belongs to a rich family and does not pay proper attention to me.” I was told that he had stopped going to his job for the last six months. Being a member of a joint family he expected his younger brother to support him. In return he promises he will not demand much except two meals in a day. So far his two children were concerned they were his nephew and like his own (brother’s) children and his wife being his sister in law was like a mother to him and thus the favour done will not be any obligation to him - he told his brother.
  • His brother said, “He does all this drama only when I come home and in my absence he remains quiet normal and because of this my feeling is that I doubt that he has any mental problem, in fact he shirks work and loves to remain idle.”
  • D: How is his sleep?
  • P: His brother replies, “Yes, that is very important he does not get sleep in spite of getting sleeping pills." Patient also said, “Yes sir, if you want to give me medicine, please give me one for sleep.”

Laughing sardonic + Objective reasonable

Smiling, sardonic

  • A woman 28, married, with Rheumatoid Arthritis "Deformities in bones of toes, fingers, knees, and elbow joints. Pain in fingers and ankle joints is felt only after they swell. She walks into my chamber, lame, with a smiling face but with a style as if having no faith in words of the persons in medical profession.
  • D: Please take seat” She sat laughingly she starts, P: What I will like to ask is, is there any chance of my recovery.”I was taken a back. “I know you will say yes, she continues I have changed many a Drs. each one had a stocked promise to make that is ‘Yes’.
