It was a
bit of an ‘Indian’ day here on Saturday. None have been quite as chaotic as I
remember some days from last time and many have been perfectly smooth and easy.
But today has been a little like that. Pishorilal was about 10-15 minutes late
but I started him; then, fortunately, so was Nasrin Bee. But Haroon arrived
about 30 minutes early so I was able to start him as soon as I finished Nasrin
– preparing for any variability to follow! Then Rizwan came – he has missed 6
days and I had given him up for lost. He has been a difficult case with an
elbow pain, shoulder pain and a nagging little point of pain that won’t
disappear. Today he said all was good except for that nagging point – but it is
good to have him back.
Saturday
means planning next week and often there are changes in patients, some stopping
or just me deleting them from the schedule as they have missed several
sessions.
That is a
problem here as we expect patients to attend every day. I would imagine that
for some, with businesses or work that is difficult, so I tend to be quite
relaxed with them and am pleased to see them when they do turn up.

I was
chatting with Thorsten last night about this it and the intensity of
it. He was saying that he finds it quite tiring having only one day a week free,
and his job, he happily admits, is a relatively easy one. I think he has the
best of all of us at this time of year in a pleasantly sunny garden.
None-the-less, he thought it was OK to work like this for a short period; he is
here for two months, but to keep it up for years would be too much stress.
I think it is
very true and, particularly doing something like I am, the Panchakarma
therapists for example, and the doctors must get very tired over time. Biju
must have been working for Sambhavna for about 17 years now and although he was
not doing Panchakarma in the beginning
must be quite weary. The doctors say they see about 40 patients every
day – that makes 240 in a week. Can either give the care, attention and focus
to that last one as they did to the first?
