Farohk Master
On October 9&10, Dr Farokh Master was our guest lecturer in Leuven. The lecture
started with a review of the repertory's history and its use. We practised the
translation of patients' frequent sayings into the adequate rubrics.
After lunch a live case was taken of a young man in acute pain from ichsias.
The doctor explained the medical disposition and consequences and how to handle
this delicate case. The discussion on the repertorisation of the case was so
animated that in the morning of the second day, Dr Master had to continue explaining
that even the most sophisticated software, how useful it may be, cannot replace
the thorough knowledge of the Materia Medica and years of experience.
The second day was dedicated to children's remedies. Dr Master's treatment of children
was illustrated by a video of a beautiful Crotalus Cascavella case. In the afternoon
we had again a live case of a ten year old sweet girl with a history of one
year suffering of nausea and belly ache. Repertorisation of this case was not
too difficult, after having had all the practice of these two days.
The follow-up of the two live cases will be mailed to the participants in the
coming days.
