Revisiting "Bathtub Blues"- Elaine Lewis, CHom |
 |
|||
| Does anybody remember the case from last month? Here it is again with the answer to follow: Mom, "Bathtub Blues"...is that the best title you could come up with? Can you come up with anything better? Uh...............................no. Well that's just great! That's just great! Who hired you anyway? Where's Kelly? Mom, Kelly's gone AWOL again. I am surrounded by idiots! Get my agent on the phone. I need a professional staff. Where's Dr. B? Mom, Dr. B just sent this message. It says, "Start the case!" An interesting angle, but, worth a try. OK, this case is by Shobi. Yay!!! Is Satchel sick again? I'm afraid so, Shana..... Shobi filled out the questionnaire, here it is:
*************************************************
************************************************* So Mom, what happened? I recommended _____________________. Here's what Shobi said the next day, "A few sips of _____________30C and we are all better! Incredible! So we are now off to New York, thanks to you :)" ___________________________________ How did we do this time? Here's the vote count:
Total: 25 And so, as you might expect, the winner clearly is................Pulsatilla! Oh yes, I know, I hear all the groans of incredulity out there! How can it possibly be Pulsatilla?! Well, I think alert reader, Roxann, explained it eloquently when she said: The ice cream clue was a flag - and the worse from heat thing.... Hey, my sentiments exactly! That's just what I did, I saw the ice cream--it was all he would eat, for God's sake--and then the "Generals: bathing, hot bathing agg." confirmed it, and then if you want that three-legged stool Hering was so fond of, you can go with "thirstless with fever" or "ailments from fish"; but, sure, Phosphorus loves ice cream too, but Phos. isn't worse hot bathing; Apis is worse hot bathing but doesn't crave or even desire ice cream, so what can you do? The ice cream was a big red flag. You know about the importance of the striking and peculiar symptom in a case, right? The remedy has to match that. Please check paragraph 153 of The Organon, I get tired of typing it everywhere I go. You know the one--The most striking, strange, rare and peculiar symptom in the case, above all else, if you can find a remedy to match that, you are more likely to cure the case even if it matches nothing else--go look! I don't want to hear that you don't have The Organon. You know, maybe we've got it backwards, Dr. B, maybe the losers need the 30% discount at the Hpathy Book Store so they can buy a nice modern translation of The Organon--Kunzli or O'Reilly. And now, let's congratulate our winners: Pirjo Suomi, Brooks, Roxann Roe, Gerald Field ---------------------------------------------------- This month's winners will get a special 30% discount on one order of books from Hpathy Mall. |
