Minutus

When you're first starting out in homeopathy and you've studied hard
but there's really been no clinical practice or supervision to confirm
your ability to practice on real people in a real world you look for
protocols or algorithms to help. Medical practitioners are lucky in
that respect because they get to practice what it is that they do as
interns seeing endless cases and always being supervised - no wonder
they're so confident.

However, developing a start-up 'system'with which to begin case taking
and remedy selection is difficult for new homeopaths because there are
so many approaches to clinical practice from Boenninghausen to Sehgal
that you end up not knowing which to use - each one seems to be a
master homeopath performing miracles. You read what appears to be one
golden piece of advice written by one master, only to have it
seemingly contradicted by another!! So frustrating.

And homeopathic practitioners practice without the benefits of peer
supervision - often alone like shags on a rock. Thank heavens for
groups like minutus. Some members of the group have attended clinical
practices in hospitals in India where they see and experience constant
streams of patients - I imagine that must sharpen up one's prescribing
skills. Would anyone who has had that sort of clinical experience care
to comment on the value of it, and to perhaps recommend a good place
in India to experience that learning curve?

Anyway, I have cured cases that GPs and specialists weren't able to
and my successes have kept me going. But, as one evolves as a
practitioner more questions arise so, thanks again for all your input.
