A young CEO who has gall bladder stones and chronic abdomen
pain refuses to recheck with photo machines at the hospital due
to the fear of surgery - cholecystectomy.
I prescribed herbal teas for his symptoms and would like to confirm
the results that I believe the stones might be disappeared or
at least decreased in size. But still he persists obscure position.
I will update the result as soon as I get it if he might get checked
on his stones.
Now I report how I treated the severe acute pain on right upper
abdomen - cholecystitis.
He often complainted about the right upper abdomen pain to me.
Whenever he did, I prescribed for him and then he got to be calm.
However I never forget to warn to him that he should care himself
because he had thick and concrete humidity over all of inside
organs with showing his deep coated tongue and abdomen pain.
He nodded at then but seemed to disregard my advice. One night,
I got a urgent call from his wife that he was sent to emergency
room. His wife explained the situation in brief. He got sudden acute
pain on abdomen over drinking with his men at pork-cooking
restaurant.
The doctors who are resident said that they don't know the why
the pain happen. They got the photos that showed the gall stones
of under 1cm located in the gall bladder, which does not cause
the pain. Also they have the blood examination paper but did not
find any inflammatory evidences.
At mid night I diagosed him as humidity and fever on liver, gall
bladder and duodenal intestine (the inflammation) due to the
stress from business. However I couldn't give him the herbal
prescription because the university hospital does not allow it.
Next morning, an old professor saw him and prescribed
antiphlogistics and pain relievers. He said the same as I did.
The embarrassing thing happened in the next afternoon when the
pain was relived a little. The hospital had him rechecked from the
begining and pushed him to get a cholecystectomy due to the
stones. They changed their original statments to that the pain
came from the stones and cholescystectomy was inevitable to
avoid further pain or mightbe cancer.
His wife called me again and asked what they should do. I clearly
answered "No, let him leave the hospital immediately." I explained
them about surgical options for gall stones which can be also
disappeared or changed to smaller with herbal prescriptions.
For six months have passed since the happening, he is still
good but I could not confirmed how the stones are now.
Now I report the process the treatment of pain and other
symptoms.
