HOMEO CASE DISCUSSION DR. HALLJAN 15/07

Words to describe the case:

UncomfortableUnstableControl & uncontrollableHiding (weakness) turtleneck EscapeAnxiety around pplJustice vs. injustice

Dr. Hall would have given the px glycine acutely to decrease panic attacks & doneacupuncture before giving a homeopathic in this case.

Its good to note when pxs change actions throughout the intake (ie. Still for a while, thentapping feet all of a sudden). px got more fidigity when talking about coming homefrom her undergrad.

She had fear of being sick in front of people b/c she didnt think ppl would help her &didnt want ppl she doesnt know to help her.

Dr. Hall likes looking at things from a mineral perspective, b/c there is a good/ clear scientific evidence on them. Compared to other remedies that are based on only provings

b/c theres always some human involvement there that could skew the results.

Dr. Hall analyzes a case by splitting the page into 3: mental emotional (1/3 of the page) ex. Loquacious, energy lecher (sucks your energy up), your thoughts on them (likecreepy, etc.).Physical/general (1/3 of the page), physical/local (1/3 of the page).

most impt. w/ this page layout is not that you put something under the rightheading, but that you only put the most impt things on the page.

When he looks at remedy lists (rubrics), he looks at it as basic for example, if he seeslach, he thinks ALL snakes are fair game.Also if he sees nat-mur, her thinks all natrums & all muriaticums are fair game.He thinks that the remedy you want will not always show up in the repertorizing.

Sometimes its better to look at cases through themes instead of rubrics b/c looking atonly one rubric is like looking at a wall w/ your nose touching it (cant tell its a wall, cuzyoure too close up). Need to take a step back to get the whole picture.

Concomitant sxs that go together are good to use as rubrics b/c different/interesting.Ex. Trouble swallowing w/ anxiety attacks.

2/2

Need to decide whats impt from the past everyone has some suffering, but only imptto include past if its still having an influence on px.

ex. Aconite given to farmers wife 20 yrs after she found her husband dead in farmmachinery & worked for her (aconite = for acute shock/grief, but still helped her 20 yrsafter the fact, b/c its still affecting her).

Impt to look at how px responds to stress.when a px yells/screams for no reason (Dr. is 5 min late, etc.) rubric is

mind censorius or mind critical

todays case:

M/E anxiety, enclosed spacesRubric: mind delusion walls are falling inwards

Mind fear control, losingAfraid of showing weaknessMind embarrassment strangers, in presence of

*relationship w/ father significant*muriaticum = issues w/ mother (chlorine)suphuricum = for issues w/ loved ones (usu romantic, but can be any loved ones)carbonicum = for issues w/ father

(extra notes): its good to look at how ppl act drunk b/c alcohol is a disinhibitor. Alsogood to look at pxs premenstrual sxs too.Rubric for dirty old man who tells rude jokes and makes borderline comments =mind shameless
