A female diabetic ,obese ,hypothyroid patient aged 56years ,married and wife of a doctor visited my clinic with
Agonising retrosternal chest pain of stitching nature along with extreme heaviness .It was her first experience of chest pain.
Sitting still in the chair ,remained quiet until I asked her about the suffering.
Started weeping and explained about the chest pain.she told that she felt like dying when pain increases.she feels that she will not be living anymore.she was frequently asking for water to drink.Her lips were dry.
Asking about how it started ,she talked about a bitter experience with her daughters father in law who had blamed her spoiling her daughter.
The patient was undignified and mortified by the blame and complaints started 36 hours back coinciding with that.Her doctor husband brought her early morning today from Nalanda 90 km away from Patna after an agonising night .
I prescribed her Aconite nap .I did Homoeo-drug -energy transmission through hair. The remedy was in LM 1 potency.The patient was sent for an ECG by a cardiologist .
Wonderful observation was at glance within 5 minutes .Pt told that only within two minutes ,her pain increased for a few seconds and started decreasing rapidly and in next few minutes by 80%. She proceeded for ECG and by the time her ECG done ,she was having only memory of chest pain.
ECG was not abnormal except T wave flattening probably due to obesity and hypothyroid.And then I advised the patient's attendant to keep her in observation. After 12 hours ,now,she was feeling fresh with a good sleep of 3 hours and cheerful then after.
Presentiment of death,fear of death,weeping with restlessness and fear,mortification as a precipitating factor along with increased thirst confirmed Aconite as rescue medicine which not only averted any disaster but cured her putting a smile on her lips.
Mind rules over matter.Scanning the changes in patient emotion and mind along with the modalities and finding the similimum is duty of the physician and a dutiful physician will never fail.
