Mayuri Tandon, 42 years, Married Hindu Lady with a middle economic status

History of present Complaints-

        (Sensation, location, modalities, concomitants)

Lady came to me with the complaints of Dyspnoea since 4 days. I gave her medicine, but next day she came up saying that she is not getting relief. She fears that she will die without having her desires fulfilled. She says, “Doctor, once I was a free bird flying from place to place. I never sat at home always on the move, meeting people and enjoying their company. You can imagine the mental state of the person like me whose movements are not restricted.” In a depressed and gloomy mood she asked, “doctor, are you sure I will recover? , and continues further my children and other members of the family discourage me to come to you because all of them feel that there is no improvement. But I tried to impress upon them that my doctor has given me hope, which no one else did. I would like to stick to him.” When questioned, “Are you hopeful?” She says, “Yes, because of your confidence to cure me which many times encourages me to trouble you on the phone to get assured as and when I get depressing thoughts, sometime I hesitate to do so because I fear you and none else.” Doctor said, “Why?” she answered, “you may get angry and refuse to treat (me) a person who seems to be troublesome so often.” She tolds that breathing comes to a halt when one falls asleep, “I must sit up like a slave bonded to a particular course of life. In this condition I feels so, so suffocated that the thought of it sometime touches me at a sensitive spot and fear overtakes me. Have I to die like this without having any glimpse of good days?”
