This
is a true recount of incident as told by a friend who witnessed this treatment
and he did not want me to share names or location of the place as the people
involved were worrried that authorities may take action on complaints from
large & famous hospitals who do lose their customers to such clinics and
hence i have not mentioned the details of the place or the name of the healer
here. I did not believe the story when it was told but then my friend then
shared the photograph of the removed stones and the details of the clinic and
only then did i believe but still unable to digest it. Somethings are stranger
than fiction that we may not believe it.. this is once such incident.
My
friend’s relative was having acute pains in stomach and he consulted a doctor
in a well known hospital in the city. He was put through various tests and
scans and he was diagonised with stones over 5 mm in gall bladder and kidney.
He was then asked to get operated at the earliest and the cost of this
treatment was estimated to be around Rs 1,50,000.00. Being from a middle class
family the patient and the family
members was running between pillar and post arranging funds for the treatment
and while doing so my friends father came across a person who said that there
are cheaper ways to remove the stones from the bladder. He said that there is a
clinic in Chithoor district near Puttur where people with stones are treated
with immediate effect and no hospitalization required. My friend’s family have
been going to Puttur to a different person who has been treating them for
various ailment and they have been satisfied with the treatment as it was
showing positive results. So they all hired an Innova and set out to go to the
clinic suggested and the cost of hire of the car was around Rs 7500.00. They
reached the clinic around 9 am and was recieved by an assistant who asked for
the details of ailments and the copies of the reports etc. He then ushered the
patient and the attenders to healer’s room and explained to the healer in local
language of the ailment. The healer then asked the patient to sit next to him
and took some potion like oil in hand and just rubbed that in the area where
the stones were there as per the scan. And after sometime the healer then put
his hand at the spot and plucked out few times and handed the same in an
ploythene cover to the patient and said.. “here
are the stones that were disturbing you” .
Gall bladder Stones taken out |
Patient and the attenders were
shocked to the core as there was no wound at all on the body and were not
believing that if anything worthwhile has happened by travelling so far.The
healer then asked the patient to take another scan once he gets back to the
city and collected his fees for this procedure which was just Rs 400.00.
Immediately on reaching the city my friend took his relative for ultra sound
scan the very next day and to everyones surprise the scan report was clean and there were no more stones in his gall bladder and the
kidney.
A
big sigh of relief from the patient and his family as the person was treated
for a paltry sum even with the taxi fare as compared to what they would have
spent if they had gone for the treatment in the hospital.
So
friends is this believeable ??? I am sure none of you would..... but the fact
remains that the stone have been removed !!!!!
