To minimize risk of exposure to and spread of the COVID-19 virus and COVID-19 variants, I am continuing to suspend in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office. Meanwhile, phone, and Zoom consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!

“Patients cannot hear it when you say disparaging things
about them to colleagues
out of earshot. But they can feel it.” – Mark Reid, M.D.
When you go to the doctor’s office, you are likely to perceive a lot of
things. You will see the doctor’s white coat, smell the astringent odor of
anti-septic and cleaning products, feel the cool air circulating throughout the
clinic (it always seems so cold in a doctor’s office). Then there will be
sounds: a child’s cough, the buzz over the reception area desk instructing the
next patient to step check in, the voices of other patients’ chatting in the
waiting room, the medical staff discussing…whatever. Sometimes the topic of the
medical team’s conversation or the tone of their voices causes unnecessary (and
unintended) anxiety and distress.
For example: I
once overheard an Ob/Gyn physician call to his nurse, “Bring the cow in here.”
Now, calling a woman a “cow” is unkind and derogatory, to say the very least. I
was seething. What kind of physician
would refer to his patients this way? I wondered, gritting my teeth. Then I
saw the nurse wheel a computer into the examining room and shut the door. Cow. C.o.W. Computer on Wheels. But you wouldn’t have known what the doctor
really meant if you hadn’t seen the item he wanted the nurse to bring into the
room.
The tone of the
medical professionals’ voice and cadence of their speech can also influence
your level of anxiety or comfort/relaxation during a medical visit. When I
over-heard the doctor instruct the nurse to bring the C.o.W. into the examining
room, his tone was mild or even indifferent. My hyper-suggestible state
intensified my emotional-suggestible
interpretation to his comment. I immediately jumped to the conclusion that he
was mocking or belittling the patient and
he didn’t seem to care that he was insulting her. If I had been in that
examining room, I would have been very insulted—until the computer came into
the room, anyway.

Hi, there. I am Tom Neil and I want to describe how life had been for my younger brother living with schizophrenia and how he had been permanently able to overcome this debilitating disease via a naturopathic, herbal method.
ReplyDeleteMaicon - my kid brother was twenty years old when he was brought to the emergency room by the campus police of the college from which he had been suspended several months ago. A professor had called and reported that he had walked into his classroom, accused him of taking his tuition money, and refused to leave.
Although he had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his appearance or social pursuits. He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found clues that his college was just a front for an organized crime operation. He had been suspended from college because of missing many classes. My sister said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from my room and ask my family to be quiet even when they were not making any noise.
My father and sister told the staff that Maicon's great-grandmother had had a serious illness and had lived for 30 years in a state hospital, which they believed was a mental hospital. Our mother left the family when Maicon was very young. She has been out of touch with us, and they thought she might have been treated for mental health problems.
Maicon agreed to sign himself into the psychiatric unit for treatment. The whole family except I had agreed to have Maicon transferred to a mental asylum. I knew inwardly there was still some plausible means by which my kid brother could overcome this condition. I knew botanical means of treatment will be more favorable than any other type of treatment, and as such, I had taken a keen interest in the research of naturopathic alternative measures suitable for the treatment of schizophrenia. I had pleaded for some little patience from the family in the delay of the transfer, I was looking forward to proving a point to the entire family, of a positive botanical remedy for this condition.
It was during my ceaseless search on the internet I had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially schizophrenia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that my brother had been able to improve his condition for better.
Before the naturopathic remedy - Maicon's story had reflected a common case, in which a high-functioning young adult goes through a major decline in day-to-day skills. Although family and friends may feel this is a loss of the person they knew, the illness can be treated and a good outcome is possible.
My brother Maicon is just like many other patients out there suffering from this disease. Although he was able to overcome this condition via a naturopathic herbal remedy administered by this African herbal physician and saved completely thus, rekindling the lost joy which had been experienced by the family members.
I wish to use this opportunity to reach across to anyone who may happen to be diagnosed with this disastrous condition to spread the hope of an everlasting herbal remedy that is capable of imposing a permanent end to this disease.
