Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 How to become a good ayurvedic doctor U should have solid idea about the disease u are going to treat in allopath terms . for example heart diease can be treated in alternative medicine but u need a solid idea from the technical words like angina and also how it is described in the alternative medicines terms. Secondly do not promise to cure all the disease. All disease can not be cured. some one karma wrong habits food styles etc will never make the medicine work in effective manner. Therefore understand some disease can be cured, some can be treated symptomatically, some give support therapy, some only given relief, some impact can be reduced to a great extent. So have fair idea which disease u are good and not good in curing. younger the patient easier to cure, older the patient longer it will take and most of the time it is only symptomatic relief. Thirdly take the pressure of the time. For example patient wants immediate cure there fore ask for the time. Tell them it will take time. Many expectation of miraculous cure is not possible. Be frank and straight forward many people will appreciate u for that. With experience u will get a fair idea how long it will take time. Use intuition in diagnosis and in drug selection. Sticking some kind of formula is good but then praying before writing prescription is good . Do not talk ill of other system of the medicine. Just say I do not know. psychically it pull down the person energy very fast. Negativity will only produce negativity. Be kind to patient . Shouting howling will not help. Patient can test ur patience and they can be persistence with nagging questions. It is just that they are frightened. Try to chant some prayer on dhanvantri or mahamrtunjaya this will help u to healing ability better than the others. Gopalakrishnan.k.b.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Dear Gopal Krishnan ji, Sadar Namaste. I enjoyed your enlightening post. I would like to add something without taking anything away from your noble intentions. Please do not think I am criticising you, I am only putting forward my own opinion. I know many diseases can not be cured. But I feel that the physician must be supremely confident of his ability to cure any disease. It is this bold attitude that leads to growth. The patient must also be given the positive affirmation that "God willing" everything will be ok. If required then certain mantras can be given for speeding up the healing process. For people of other religions they may be encouraged to visit their own represantatives. Every patient, often even a terminal patient, hopes ardently for a cure. Giving him a negative suggestion is not proper. I am currently working with a number of doctors who feel that patients may be better off if they are not informed about the serious nature of their illness. This may sound controversial but it has been observed that when the patient hears such words as "cancer" or "AIDS" he is half finished. He stops his normal routine and becomes bedridden. So long as the patient is confident of a cure then he can be cured. It is only when the patient looses hope or looses interest in life or starts adopting a lifestyle that is against his cure that the physician should start worrying about the outcome of the treatment. Regards, Jagannath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
