BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: CHESTNUT BUD
Inattention, lack of observation makes the same mistakes again and again, does not learn from past experiences. Develops escapist mentality.The negative Chestnut Bud Type is not a dullard and does not possess “Low I.Q.” But he makes the same mistakes again and again. He may have incurred huge loss by not supervising the working of his staff m the past, but this experience will not deter him from trusting the same staff again and incur further loss. His friend may have warned him against appointing a person who had been sacked by a rival concern because of his dishonesty, but he would ignore the good advice and appoint the same man for “his good business connections”, and come to grief later on.No. A negative chestnut bud type does not learn any lesson from his past experience or from the experience of other persons, or he may be too slow to learn from experience.The boy may not learn his lesson due to inattention i.e. his mind was away when the book lay open on his lap, or he was looking mechanically on the Black Board when the teacher was writing on it, or he was copying some notes from a fellow student’s copy without caring to grasp the subject which he was copying – a case of inattention.He went to his friend’s house in his car, saw the location, saw the number plate of the street, and saw the number plate on the house.Next time he was led to the house by a ricksha wala, and saw all those things again.When he wanted to go to the same house on his own he had forgotten all those signs which he could follow. He could not recollect what was the size of the number plate, its colour or whether it was fixed on the right or left wall of the street entrance—a case of lack of observation when a person does not see even with his eyes open, or is indifferent to what he sees. A man may be in a hurry when he is given some instructions or it may be his habit to receive the instructions hurriedly and then fail to follow the instructions, Whether it is due to lack of observation, or due to inattention or from hurry, the result is the same need for repeated experience.*78\308\8*

INTRA-ABDOMINAL INFECTIONS: SUBPHRENIC ABSCESS
Subphrenic abscesses most commonly develop after surgery involving the duodenum, stomach, biliary tract, or appendix, or after rupture of a hollow viscus, such as a perforated peptic ulcer or acute appendicitis. Patients may present with fever and abdominal pain in the right or left upper quadrants. Other symptoms may include hiccups, jaundice, shoulder pain, chest pain, cough, dyspnea, or a pleural effusion. The syndrome may be an acute, febrile illness, or a more chronic, insidious process with intermittent fevers, weight loss, and other constitutional symptoms. The chronic form develops most often in patients who have previously received antibiotics. The diagnosis of subphrenic abscess should always be considered in patients presenting with fever of unknown origin, especially if they have a history of abdominal surgery within the preceding few months.Computed tomographic scan and ultrasonography are the best methods for diagnosing a subphrenic abscess. An initial plain radiograph may give clues to the diagnosis, often showing a pleural effusion, an elevated hemidiaphragm, and concomitant lower lobe atelectasis or pneumonia.The primary treatment is drainage, via either a percutaneous procedure or an open laparotomy. Empiric antibiotic therapy is aimed at the organisms likely to be involved, depending on the mechanism of infection, and is the same as that recommended for secondary peritonitis.*96/348/5*
