Turning a Patient’s Words into Rubrics

Find rubrics to describe these statements.  (Answers at the end)

Abbreviations:  Pt= Patient,  Hom= Homeopath

#1

Pt: I’m sorry I’m late.

Hom: No problem, it’s only five minutes.

Pt: Well, you said three o’clock and I should have been here.  I do everything wrong .  My son just dropped out of school and I couldn’t stop him.. I wasn’t a good parent. I should have been more firm with him, given him more direction.  I never learned how to be a parent. I didn’t give him what he needed. I should have gone back to school, made something of myself, been a better role model for him. Now he has no one to look up to.

__________________________________________________________________

#2

Hom: What brings you here?

Pt: What kind of a question is that? What do you think brings me here, I’m sick!

Hom: Would you like to tell me about it?

Pt: Of course!  (Describes various physical problems..then)  It’s difficult at work. I told them I couldn’t do heavy lifting. So what do they do?  They stick me at a desk filing papers all day!  I said, “I’m not going to shuffle papers.”  So then they had me answering phones. They can’t treat me like that. I can file a suit.

________________________________________________________________

#3

Pt: I have this back pain for the last 3 months.

Hom: Could you describe it?

Pt: Well, it’s like my cosmic energy is swirled around the wrong way. I  think I opposed the order of the universe and this is the reverberation manifested somatically.

Hom: What part of your back hurts?

Pt: I don’t know if it makes sense to limit ourselves to the body, since that’s just an extension or densification of our energy field. I mean, one part is all parts, is every part!

__________________________________________________________________

#4

Pt: I think about those movie stars, you know, all the money they get. And what do they do? Nothing! Anybody can do that. I bet they all knew somebody. There’s a fellow at work, who just started. Makes twice what I do. Why didn’t they offer me that job?  I know everything he knows. He wears expensive suits, drives home is a big car, probably gets all the women.

__________________________________________________________________

#5

Pt: Here are my medical records as you requested. “They are in chronological order and I’ve put tabs on the outside to make them easier to locate.”

Hom: Thank you for going to all that trouble.

Pt: No trouble at all.  I like a sense of order.  I’m not comfortable with disorganization or clutter. Books should be returned to where you found them, as should silverware. I believe in being conscientious.  I told a friend I would return her pen on Thursday. It was pouring rain, but I walked a mile to her house to hand it to her!

_________________________________________________________________

#6

Pt: I never sit in the house alone because I start getting nervous, thinking about dying. I feel like I’m all alone in the world.  As soon as people come over I cheer up.  I really like having company around.

  1. I am suffering from major depression and anxiety from 3 years back? Currently I am on cymbalta and rexodile. I am only 22 and these medicines are too strong for me to tolerate. They are been a help but i am afraid that it is not helping more efficiently. I am thinking of exchanging my treatment with homeopethic. What is your advice?

  4. Im a 20 year old male who is currently single and hard at work in college. However, I frequently have extremely distracting erections during the day and occasionally in the evening. Its a real problem that Ive been having since about 14 years old. I find its a problem because not only is it embarrassing to have to walk around with your hand in your pocket as if nothings wrong (thats how I “hide” it), but its very hard to concentrate on the professors lecture, lab work, or anything that requires critical thinking during these erections. Ive found that its not any particular thing thatll set it off (although being around attractive college girls doesnt help), as I can be all alone in the computer lab and Ill suddenly be pitching a tent. Anyway, are there any suggestions you all can offer? I know masturbation is a short-term solution, but since Im out most of the day, its a little difficult (if not impossible) to find the time or the place to relieve myself. I know that this could be considered a blessing, but at the same time it puts me at a disadvantage if I can only concentrate a third of the time.
