Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 This reminds me of the story I remember of a very devout man called John who had tremendous faith in God. One day there was tremendous amount of rain in his area and after a while he saw a car come over to his house and the man told John that he was sent specifically to take John to a safer place since there is news that the bad weather will continue for the next 24 hrs at least.John refused the help politely saying that he has faith that God will take care of him.So the man left after failing to convince John of the impending danger. Soon John's house was taking in water as the flood waters began to rise.John took sanctuary in the upper storey of his house and after some time he heard the sound of a motrised boat outside his flooded house.John looked out and saw 2 men in a boat and they told John that they had been sent to rescue him.John again politely refused saying that he had complete faith in God being able to take care of him and told them not to worry about him and told them to go save someone else who had less faith in God. It kept on raining and soon John was forced to go to the roof.Luckily a helicopter pilot saw him and soon a ladder dropped from the heli and down climbed a sturdy man to help John up.John still refused help and said that he still was very sure that God will help him when the crucial moment comes and told them to leave him be. After a few more hours the flood waters rose further and John being unable to swim drowned in the flood waters. He awoke at Pearly gates and saw St Peter looking down on him.John was very upset and started to complain"How is it that God could allow such a devotee of his drown just like that ?" St Peter answered "God sent the man in the car to rescue you but you refused , God then sent you rescuers in a boat but you refused and still God did not give up on you and finally sent you rescuers in a helicopter but you still refused." Moral of the story is use your common sense and discretion as always and especially so in medical emergencies. I would love also to stand by and give a bandhan when my patient is suffocating to death but I still somehow always end up doing surgery to save him/her and give thanks to AdiShakti on the success of the operation.There are numerous more examples of medical emergencies where I use medical science and give thanks to AdiShakti for the wisdom to make the right decision always. Simple rule for non-medical people is call for help FIRST in any medical emergency. Then try to help the patient in whatever way you can, if bleeding form a wound put pressure at the site to stop/decrease the bleeding - it is common sense knowledge(I cannot go thru all the examples where we must use common sense).Nobody ever said that you cannot do bandhan while doing the life saving measures (Remember it is said that in public places you can do it without the physical motions). If you know CPR(cardiopulmonary resusitation) when a person has stopped breathing you use it immediately if the person requires it even though you are not a medical person.The only important thing to remember is to not move the person ..... as far as possible.If a person is choking on a piece of food in a restaurant , do the Heimlich manouvere on him/her.In both this cases if you wait for medical help and it does not arrive within 4 minutes maximum the person will be braindead. In medical emergencies seconds determine life and death and in those who live seconds determine whether that person walks out of the hospital or is wheeled out as a "vegetable". I found this obituary interesting: Common Sense Obituary Today we mourn the passing of an old friend by the name of Common Sense.Common Sense lived a long life but died from heart failure at the start Of the millennium. No one really knows how old she was since her birth Records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. She selflessly devoted her life to service in schools, hospitals, homes,factories and offices, helping folks get jobs done without fanfare andfoolishness. For decades, petty rules, silly laws and frivolous lawsuits held nopower over Common Sense. She was credited with cultivating such valuedlessons as to know when to come in out of the rain, the early bird gets the worm, and life isn't always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids), and it's okay to come in second. A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and theTechnological Revolution, Common Sense survived cultural and Educational trends including feminism, body piercing, whole language and "new math." But her health declined when she became infected with the"If-it-only-helps-one person" virus. In recent decades her waning strength proved no match for the ravages of political correctness and overbearing government regulation. Her energy waned when Mother Theresa's Orderbought a four story building in the Bronx for use as a hospice but couldn't get a license without having an elevator installed that cost more than the building. She watched in pain as good people became ruled by self-seeking lawyersand enlightened auditors. Her health rapidly deteriorated when schoolsendlessly implemented zero tolerance policies, reports of six year old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, a teen suspended for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student. It declined even further when schools had to getparental consent to administer aspirin to a student but could not inform the parent when the female student was pregnant or wanted an abortion. Finally, Common Sense lost her will to live as the Ten Commandmentsbecame contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, federal judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional sports, and the Senate and the Congress added more aids so they could write even more legislation. As the end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments, regarding questionable regulations for asbestos,low flow toilets, "smart" guns, the nurturing of Prohibition Laws andmandatory air bags. Finally when told that a national park was held liable for not havingenough signs warning visitors 'not to stand under a tree in an electricstorm', she breathed her last. Common Sense was preceded in death by her parents Truth and Trust; herhusband, Responsibility; her daughter Discretion; and her son, Reason. She is survived by three stepsisters: Entitled, Challenged, and Victimized. Not many attended her funeral because so few realized she was gone. -----Author Unknown. batra_2000 wrote: The point is that first aid services have to besummoned as non medical practioners are not equippednor authorised to deal with medical crisis.Yes, but at that time, you can use your power ofShuddh Iccha and ask Mother to forgive the person withthe cardiac arrest.I am not aware of the medical details which youmentioned. But, yes, that is a universal problem, notonly in the U.S.A. Medical science will never be able to offer the samesolutions for medical crisis and imbalances the waySahaj can, and can regenerate, from whatever extentthe recovery of the patient may be, even if he/sheremains a vegetable for the rest of his life.I was never convinced by lemon, chillies, matka etc inSahaj. I tried them once but my left side startmisbehaving.I only do footsoaking and daily dhyana.And shoebeating maybe once a fortnight or as and whenrequired.Otherwise, the bandhan we give using our left hands ispowerful enough.Besides, the vibrations of the Nirakaar change everyyear from 1st Jan. This is something I have beenobserving ever since I came in Sahaj.Now, more and more virtues of the Nirakaar are makingthemselves felt to the people in the world - Sahajisor non-Sahajis.Only Sahajis know that it is taking them to higherlevels of awareness.So, if a medical crisis (not only cardiac arrests) forsomeone comes across your way, just use your shuddhiccha to bring him up.Give a bandhan, that's all.Regards,Rajan > i am no doctor but this is what i came across:> > "In the United States alone," said Poeppel, "sudden> cardiac arrests > strike about 1,000 people a day, and the survival> rate is at best 2 > to 4 percent.
