Importance of Homoeopathic Case taking

Case taking

Aph 82 to 104 talks about importance of Homoeopathic case taking.

Case taking is the first step in the process of cure. The process of cure actually starts from this point. Case taking is the foundation on which the structure of cure rests. Man is constantly exposing and reacting to the surrounding physical and psychological environment. Any mal-adjustment or incapability to cope with the pressure or expectations might result into the disturbance of his sensorium which in turn results in to physical problems. The only way to understand a disease is to understand the patient and his symptoms.

Individualistic approach is more important in treating the diseases. To understand the sick individual case taking is the only method. Case taking process is the most crucial part, not only because the physician witnesses the disease but also it is an opportunity to the patient to ventilate his sufferings and get relief. Any negligence in this step will affect the outcome of cure. Hence, "A case well taken is half cured. Every time you take a case, you are entering into a new world" says Elizabeth Wright.

Definition: Case-taking is the artistic process of ascertaining, understanding and recording the complaints of patient in such a way that based on the totality of symptoms collected, the physician can manage the case and prescribe homeopathic remedy on the basis of anamnesit and tries to cure the case."

Case is not just the collection of symptoms, but it is the evidence of disease and the interpretation of the incidence of disease. The understanding of a case helps us to identify the alterations taken place in the physical, mental and spiritual levels of the patient which homeopaths call, the individual examination. Man is constantly reacting to his surrounding environment, both in health and in disease. Case study includes the study of the altered state of the patient and also the environment which is responsible for such change. Case taking is an opportunity for the physician to understand how a patient is reacting to social, psychological, emotional, hygenic, mechanical causes.

Aphorism 85

Explanation of Aphorism 84 Procedure to be adapted in writing. While the patient narrates his sufferings the physician begins to write every new circumstance with a fresh line and leaves a few lines before beginning a new symptom, so that he could add to any line the matter which had not been explained properly. Some physicians while taking up the case writes rubrics instead of whole symptoms as instructed in this section, saving their time. But whenever that record is seen much is lost as the exact expression and words of patient is missing and we find only interpretation of the physician in the form of rubrics - which if goes wrong is tough to rectify due to absence of full symptoms.
