| Mom, why on earth did you name the quiz "Beef
and Kidney Pie"?
I don't know, Shana, I don't know! I need
help! Where are the writers?
Didn't you know? There's a writer's strike!
A writer's strike? Don't I pay them enough?
Mom, you don't pay them anything!
Of course I don't pay them anything, this
is hpathy.com, for God's sake, home of George Vithoulkas! It's an
honor to go broke here!
Mom, you just got another memo from Dr. B....
I know, I know... "Start the case!"
OK, Shana, this case actually took place five years ago this month!
It was an hpathy.com Discussion Board case that I took.
You've been here that long?
Shana, I've been here so long, I'm calcifying--much
like this quiz case:
July 7, 2003
Male, 42 years old. Banker. Sonography shows renal calculi
5 mm in the left kidney. The left kidney is slightly swollen.
Uneasiness and puffed feeling in lower abdomen. He has to walk
in bent position and hold the abdomen while walking. He's better
lying on his back in the knee-bent position. Lying on left side
is better too. Worse lying on right side. Chill and feverish.
Mouth feeling of dryness and desire to sip water at room temperature
frequently. Last night he was very restless, kept tossing about.
No position seemed comfortable. No appetite. Doctor has advised
him to drink lots of water. He is better for a hot shower, after
which he can stand erect for a short while.
I recommended the patient take _______________30C. After
just one dose, the following post appeared:
When I met the patient this morning, he said that immediately
after the dose of ____________ he felt the pain vanish and he
could turn on which ever side he desired. He is of the opinion
the kidney stone is gone! Soreness/swelling in the left kidney
region was gone by the time I visited him at 11 a.m. today. I
have advised him not to take any remedy now and only if the pain
or discomfort comes up again to repeat ________ after succussing
in water. This discussion board is a very friendly neighborhood.
Good going, mom!
Do any of you out there know what the remedy is? Please write to
my mom at LEWRA@aol.com, the
answer will be in next month's ezine!
