One of my biggest ongoing Sa’Am challenges . . . . . the patient returns with reports of exceptional response to last
week’s treatment – main complaint(s) and many other signs and symptoms responded tremendously well . . . and
the whole case lines up so well with the treatment I did . . . the overwhelming temptation of course (especially and
even more so, if clinic is busy, hurried, chaotic that day!) is to just do the same treatment a second time . . . rather
than really be very present and evaluate / reevaluate with fully fresh senses and give the right treatment for that
moment, not for the legacy of last week!! Even more challenging when the particularities of the case lined up so
fully with that one Sa’Am pattern and there isn’t even an obvious second pattern!! I find its a perpetually
challenging practice to essentially reboot to full presence with each patient, on each visit . . . . laziness is always
looking over my shoulders!!

Yes. And thus… The Practice. Not just learning and applying medicine. But of bringing ourselves with fresh eyes
to the moment. The problem with the success is that we think it is replicable in the same way.

Me too.
With big relief comes the possibility of a big reconfiguration of the system which might make obvious other
imbalances that need to be addressed.

May I take a poll from you more experienced practitioners: what’s the percentage of time when a repeat treatment
is the correct choice?

1. first treatment knocked it out of the park, chief complaint completely resolved but the pattern that lead you
to the treatment channel is still present.
2. first treatment helped tremendously, same pattern/symptoms partially remain
3. first treatment partially helped the chief complaint, same pattern/symptoms largely unchanged
Of course it’s always case-by-case, but a general % guess of your experience would be so helpful for me to
contextualize the organization of my channel choices.
thanks!

I can’t even fathom a guess. It would be interesting but very time consuming to analyze cases with an eye to
answering your question. The researcher could consider other factors like the robustness of the constitution and the
intensity of the underlying imbalance.
Daniel: October 1, 2020, 11:01pm
yes, I have often thought it would be so cool to design a full data base for clinic with a substantial matrix of case
features to record – all constructed so it could be queried fully over time. Just imagine the richness of data and
trends and correlations we could uncover. You’d need a serious high level clinical database designer to be in on the
ground level of such a design.

After posting that question I did think it ludicrous, but the fantasy of KNOWING how/when/how often to repeat a
treatment still exists.
