This was some time ago before I lost my wheels.
A close friend rang and told me she had fallen in her garden and badly bruised her ribs. She thought she had broken her back; so much pain and couldn't get up. She lay there in the rain until her friend picked her up and took her to the doctor. He wouldn't strap it, which would have eased the pain. He just gave her painkillers and put her off work for SIX weeks. (because ribs heal slowly!)
I drove out immediately because I believe the less time since the accident, the better the results.
She showed me the bruise. From just above the belly button, right round to her spine and more than the wideth of my hand. I started 2 inches off the ribs, then gently touching, then top and bottom around the bruise. When I finished, she looked shaken and disorientated, so I did a few minutes technique to bring her into the present. She protested that and then went into uncontrollable giggles. I said to myself, "There goes the energy of that bruise!"
The doc. told her she must sleep in a chair but that was v. painful for her.As the pain had gone from 9 to 6, she decided to try sleeping on top of her bed. She arranged her clothes nearby but awoke to find her knickers had fallen on the floor. What to do? Slowly and carefully she bent down. "What NO pain?" She pulled up her nightdress, "WHAT NO BRUISE!"
When she rang me, we found we both had the same doctor. I said, "Go see him soon; slap your sides and say' Not much wrong with my ribs, Doc!"
After a days rest, she went back to work!

Great story, Huggie! Did she show the doctor the results and mystify him?

Hi Huggie,
Don't you just love it when your friends (clients, family, healers...) prove the doctors wrong?!
Great story. Thanx for sharing.
Hugs, Christina

Hi Huggie, that's great - pity you couldn't have a before and after picture! I agree, the sooner you get to treat the problem the better. I would have loved to see the doctor's face on seeing the bruise gone and your friend pain-free! Excellent work - good old QT!
