Encounter with a traditional healer. A patient presented with change in sensorium, delusions, headache, fever. Consulted a physician, diagnosed with TB meningitis. However, because of the strange nature of the illness and financial constraints, they went to an albularyo. He told them that his spirit was stolen by a demon. He conducted several tests. This delay cause the brainstem to be infarcted. Patient now comatosed. Family still hopes that he will recover. The albularyo guarantees it. He even visited the patient, chanting orasyon, aimed at guiding the spirit back to his body, cursing satan in the process. Apparently, this false hopes are stronger than my prognosis. Family still hanging on. Question: shouldnt this albularyo be sued for illegal practice of medicine? Because of his diagnosis of demonic possession, patients condition worsened. Then again, he might be right. Hahaha. Creepy day.
