Urgent Homeopathy Update
On Sunday I had my appointment with the homeopath. It wasn’t quite what I expected, but I really didn’t know what to expect. Out of respect I will not give his name. I will instead refer to him as Dr. Homey O’Path.
I spent an hour and a half there, mostly talking about myself, which I love to do. He wanted to know not only about the condition I wanted to try to treat, but a lot of things about my life and history: whether I got made fun of school, how my sinus infection makes me feel, what my interests are, etc. Ambulocetus even made it into the conversation, which pleases me.
Then he explained to me that his job now was to examine the notes he’d taken and decide what the best course of action would be. He showed me his software that would allow him to enter symptoms and return a list of suggested preparations, with extensive cross-referencing. I have to admit, I had a difficult time not chuckling when I saw that one of the symptoms was “Abandonment”, and that it was cross-referenced with “Forsaken”. There are actually homeopathic preparations for feelings of abandonment. I’d hate to be the guy that gets misdiagnosed as feeling abandoned when what he really needs is forsakenness medicine. But I digress.
So where do we go from here? In the next couple of days, Dr. O’Path will send me a homeopathic preparation, and I will take it and see how it goes. After that I may go back for a follow up. I have no expectations that this will work, and I made sure that Dr. O’Path knows this.
Overall, the appointment was a positive experience, mostly because I love talking about myself. And he had a small pot on his desk containing several cacti in Tahitian moon sand with a lamp directly over it. I like that kind of thing.
Stumble it!
