Could I trouble you for another ER case? It was only my second week in July 1979. I was asked to see a very severely dyspneic patient with COPD. On many bronchodilators severely ill. He was in Atrial Fibralation and a very eratic beat, very irregular. Seeing him in the ICU with the nurse, I found rattling respiration with copious mucus. He was being suctioned every few minutes. He had already been resucitated a few days ago and suffered a fracture of his sternum from chest compressions. The family was sincerely requesting not to resucitate. The attending physician only gave orders to do our best but wanted Diuretics to decrease the mucus and pulmonary edema and more bronchodilators. With my relative inexperience and general ignorance about handling such severe lung disease with the patient so near the end, I put a few pellets of Ant-t on his tongue gave p.o fluids because of his dry mouth and decided to check on him every 2 hours. But within 30 to 45 minutes the nurse called again. His breathing had eased a little, the mucus was easier to suction and a good bit came out with some decrease in the rattling. But more than that his heart rhythm converted to Regular Sinus Rhythm ( after over 2 weeks of Atrial Fibrillation). He was greatful. His family was around him and thankful I had not " called a code" and thankful to see him more comfortable. But lo and behold his heart started to slow down and he went into a slower and slower rate ( a dying heart) and gently closed his eyes to go to that happy place where his loved ones will find him one day. The family was thankful , and I was deeply grateful to verify Kent's Lecture once again. Case: A 35 year old strong male construction worker came to the ER screaming with pain saying he was dying. Upon enquiry I understand that a small metal filing had gone into the eye while he was grinding some metal. He was clutching his eye and was very afraid for me to examine it despite all reassurances that he would be OK. So I told him I would first give him a pain killer and then wash the eye to which he agreed. I quickly put a dose of Aconite 10M on his tongue, went to prepare his eye wash. Within 2 or 3 minutes he was calm and said the pain was relieved greatly. At this time I could clean/wash his eye, remove some tiny piece of metal splinter, examine the cornea for injury, instill 2 drops of dilute Euphrasia; put a patch on his eye and send him home. He reported next day feeling happy without pain and with a normal eye. Case: A 36 year Indian woman was brought in to the ER with severe Chest Pain, tachypnea of 26, tachycardia of 160 and a BP of 170/125.Lungs were clear. History showed that she had been on beta blockers for HTN. Since she had some bad effect of the medicine she stopped it suddenly on her own and in a sense this was a reaction to the sudden discontinuation of the beta blocker (well known). After obtaining the history and physical exam I put a few pellets of Aconite 10M in the mouth gave fluids and sent the patient to the ICU for observation. In 1 and 1/2 hour she had fallen asleep. Her BP was 120/80, Normal Sinus rhythm, normal breathing . The next day after the Cardiac Enzymes were normal she was sent home and asked to be followed with her own MD. Ahmed, I knew the eye case right away! Hooray! Sign me up! But, the case above, how did you know to give Aconite? I forgot to add she was afraid that she would soon die if she did not get help right away; in addition she had an expression of great fear on her face. But the sudden appearance in her case of tachycardia and tachypnea from one hour to the next spoke for Aconite. Also Aconite is one of the first remedies to think of in cases threatening the heart (fear, fright etc.) You are truly spoiling us! Can we adopt you? How about if I convince people to buy your books, will you come back again? All right everybody, Dr. Currim's books, The Collected Works of Arthur Grimmer, MD (900 pages for only $50.00. Shhh! Don't tell him he should be charging a lot more, just buy it!), and Guide to Kent's Repertory (250 pages, only $30.00, and if you buy the 2 together-- $75.00. Yeesh! Don't say anything!)
Let me just tell you about Arthur Grimmer. Grimmer shared his office with James Tyler Kent, he was Kent's student, he practiced in Chicago from 1906-1963, and he's probably best known for his treatment of cancer using homeopathy. I don't hear the cash register ringing....Order from this page: http://homeopathydoctor.com/books.htm Thank you Dr. Currim!!!!! ______________________________________________________ Ahmed Currim, MD 148 East Avenue, Suite 1-L |
