THE WEIRD INTIMACY
Sharing is a good
habit. From school days this habit is inculcated in young mind, when teachers
ask us to share. Our lunch, our notebooks, our geometry boxes, etc, etc. As we
grow up, we share our domentry room, share a bathroom, share MC Donald’s and
Pizza hut bills, even cell phone recharges and sometimes unknowingly a
boyfriend / girlfriend. This is very common.
But can you think of
any weirdest thing that you have ever shared. Just give yourself few seconds to
think about it, before reading this blog “The weird Intimacy”.
THE
GOOD, NOT SO GOOD AND THE LETHAL STRATEGY.
“To be cautious is
good habit, to be extra –extra cautious is not so good, but still fair enough
but to be psychopathically extremely cautious is very lethal” said the lady
sitting next to me.
She has a story about
a medical procedure that her husband went through last year for the treatment
of his non- healing, corroding and painful apthous of month.
Well, when we read
and cram this medical procedure from medical books and hear it from our seniors,
it look kind of fine, but when we hear it from patient’s mouth, it seems really weird. Well, here the story that she told me.
It so happened last
year. That her husband had stomach bug, because of which he had excessive vomiting
and stomach ache. People around him were so surprised to see him suffering from
gastro enteritis as he was consider to be a person who put his health in front
of all the things and used to eat with caution.
He went to the famous
and expensive gastroenterologist of a well known hospital for his treatment. He
was prescribed medicines accordingly which he took religiously. After five days
he was remarkably improved. On sixth day he went for a follow-up. Doctor
reduced the dosage along with it changed it to lighter salt.
Again he took the
medicines for next five days. Though he was relieved, but the complaint
persisted. The relief in these five days were less as compared to the prior
five days. He again went to the doctor, and told him his mind. Since, the
symptoms were relieving, doctor again reduced the dosage and told him that now
he only has to take the medicine for five more days and his treatment would be
over.
He again followed
instruction for five more days. Though he was relieved, his vomiting was gone,
his indigestion was not troubling him anymore or there was any tenderness in
the stomach, but still, some how he was not convinced that he was completely
cured of his ailment. Now, since the doctor has asked him not to come again
because according to him, he was cured, he was in a complete fix. He had the
fear in the mind that he would have reversal of symptoms as soon as the dose of
the medicine would be terminated.
He have been cautions
immediately taking the medicine, he have been extra cautions for continuing the
treatment for 15 days for common stomach bug, but he have developed the phobia
of disease and here, he committed a blunder, without doctor’s consent, he took
the strong antibiotics, which were prescribed at initiation of treatment which
doctor had stop after the course of 5 days. He took those medicines for a
month. And he felt good.
After a month, he
stopped those meds, thinking himself to be cured. One week after he stopped
medicines he started to suffer from hell of symptoms, each and every symptom
that is given in books under the topic of Gastro intestinal Disease.
He had alternating
constipation and diarrhoea, he had severe indigestion that as soon as the food
entered the alimentary canal, it was reverted back to its starting point. The
man began to lose weight and his buccal [mucosa membranous covering inside the
mouth] were full of apthous.
Day after day he
shunted doctors, but no one could give him relief. Every test that could have
been done to investigate his problems was performed twice or thrice on him, still
the “Status Quo” was maintained. It was only after three months of his
suffering, one doctor in south India could diagnose him that all his complaints
are traced back to his heavy and overdose of antibiotics which killed the
entire healthy bacterial flora in his intestines.
The only way to treat
him was to re-grow back the healthy bacteria colonies and the procedure to do
it is called “FECAL TRANSPLANT THERAPY”
FECAL MICROBIOTA TRANSPLANTATION
It is a process of
restoration of colonic flora by introducing healthy bacterial flora through
infusion of stool obtained from healthy human donor. This is a treatment
recommended to patient suffering from clostridium difficile infection (CDI)
which is linked with excessive and empiric use of antibiotics. Generally, the
healthy donor is the one who shares same living and eating habit as the
patient, therefore they are mainly family members.
HUSBAND-WIFE BONDING
In the above case, it
was the wife who donated her stool to her husband, so that he could recover
from his own created hell. Well, it took him two more months to get completely
recovered after sharing his wife’s stool.
Now, you know, at
what extent the habit of sharing is possible between the intimate relationships.
