<< This is indeed a complex and perhaps difficult issue.
A lot depends on the ability of the homoeopath translating the observations
and symptoms into a suitable remedy. The recognition of serious pathology
can be difficult even for the experts as we often read in the papers but one
should have alarm bells ringing with some symptoms (eg new persistent
headache etc).
There are various examples of where the judicious application of homoeopathy
has saved the patient from a great deal of allopathic interference and the
misery of operations and invasive treatment. As an example the use of
Bryonia when appendicitis is suspected or a heart remedy when the patient is
perhaps in the throes of a heart attack - of course they then need to be
sent to ER to be checked thoroughly. After all emergency treatment is
exactly what it says it is.
What must be kept at the forefront of everybody's mind is that the
life/health of the patient is paramount and in an emergency everything
should be considered to save the patient's life and give one time. As
someone quite correctly said, you don't worry about the piano when the house
is burning down!
Reading this case with the patient receiving medications IV, one can assume
that the procedures are being undertaken in a hospital and therefore any
assistance that a homoeopath can give can be regarded as a bonus.
This reminds me of one of my colleague's cases when the patient was bleeding
severely through the rectum and all allopathic procedures had not achieved
anything.
Female patient with severe rectal bleeding. The patient was being given a
cortisone based medicine. Hope was lost by all and death was imminent. In
fact the hospital doctor in charge of the case had said "The Angel of Death
is winning this case." One of the students attended the case with the
instruction that she should report whatever the patient is saying/doing.
The following was reported back:
The patient is lying in bed, weak.
"O God - I am going to die - help me."
"Please doctor, help me, I am dying and I have young children."
On just these symptoms the remedy was prescribed and the bleeding stopped
within the hour. At the same time the cortisone treatment had been stopped.
However, when the cortisone treatment was restarted and the bleeding
restarted too. The cortisone treatment was stopped again, bleeding stopped
and the patient was discharged after a few days.
Analysis & Rubrics:
Despair of recovery
Begging (Please help me)
Anxiety for her family
Praying
Eliminating, the only remedy left is Ars. One single dose of 30c was
administered.
So you definitely cannot say we must give up hope, at the same time as
Viorel correctly advises, we must at all times recognise our own limitation

This was very good and the right point. I fully subscribe. Besides, doctors
do make mistakes too - all of them allopaths or homeopaths or chinese or
whatever. Doctors are only humans, they might have a lousy day, they also get sick
and die ... something still incredible for many but nonetheless true.
As I understand, the cortison thing was such a mistake in the mentioned case.
Thanks, kind regards, Dr. medic. Viorel V. Bucur.
