These cases are from the diary notes of a Professor of surgery who mastered homoeopathy — a background which facilitates unique insights into one of the most sensitive areas of medicine. It is interesting that the doctor had a spurt of terminally ill cases in a short span of time. This type of ‘meaningful coincidence’ has been often observed in the field of psychotherapy (see the writings of C. Jung). One reason for this could be that the illness is not only an experience for the patient but also for the treating physician, whose personal outlook and philosophy of life is often moulded by his psychological environment, that is, the patient.

all homoeopaths need not be surgeons, but all surgeons should have a knowledge of homoeopathy and be capable of giving at least a few dozen well-tried and well-proven homoeopathic remedies to all their cases. To be one-sided is a disability, to be both would be an ideal for the future surgeons.

It is a popular belief that homoeopathy treats only chronic, non-serious problems like an itch or a wart. These cases reveal that, if based on a homoeopathic principle, homoeopathic remedies provide quick and effective relief.

Many times during the course of homoeopathic treatment for a patient’s main complaint, an isolated but quite disturbing localised complaint crops up. Such a complaint is not an old one returning, but very often a new incident that is bothering the patient, far more than the ones for which he is undergoing treatment. Such a symptom disturbance very often leads to a rare or a small remedy, by the giving of which the complaint goes away and then one can come back to treat the constitution. We have given sac lac which may suffice– but in our experience if the complaint is bothersome and distressing, and more so when the patient demands that the new complaint be treated first and relieved, it is unethical just to sit quiet and let the patient suffer and hope that the vital force in due time will remedy the situation. Such type of cases we term ‘cameo’ cases. The Oxford Dictionary defines cameo as “A small but well acted part in a film or a full play”. Each of our cameos given below has a story to tell which we hope our readers will enjoy.
