I can recall a case that happened to me personally, when I had just started learning karmic medicine and, at the same time, I was still a good surgeon with authority over the people living in my city. 
It was night and the whole family was asleep. I was hearing some sounds from which I had by now learnt to foresee situations. The Teacher later on helped me to develop this quality by working on other dimensions. To go back to that night: someone came knocking at the door, and I, silently so that the others would not be disturbed, went to the door and saw….EYES!
Huge eyes full of pain and tears…..I did not see anything else, but recognises in this person one of my very good and respected friends. She worked in administration (city government).
“Doctor!!!” she cried “I need surgery. Let’s go to the hospital or may be do it straight away here!”.
“What for? What has happened? Can it not wait till tomorrow?”
“Impossible!” she said quietly, and went on: “I have haemorrhoids., Please cut them off, this pain is unbearable, I can’t stand it!!! I can’t go to the loo, although I feel as if I need to go all the time”.
We had never carried on any surgery to all the patients with haemorrhoids in the middle of the night, for haemorrhoids at night as it was always possible to release the pain and perform the surgery later on. However, as she was begging me very strongly, I decided to have a look and check what was going on with her. Blood was running down her legs and, probably, a vessel had broken or something similar had happened.
I remembered a joke from the institute: scabies is a good disease, the more you scratch the more you want to scratch, but haemorrhoids are a peculiar and invisible illness which, because of a sense of shyness, you do not show to anyone.
I guided her to the examination room and asked her to show me what bothered her.
The image of what I saw then, as that of the little boy with asthma, is still in front of my eyes. Where all other people have the anus was a red mass, the size of the head of a newborn baby. Blood gushed out of it and even the lightest touch caused her immense pain. She what moaned and, once more, I realised that what was needed here was to deal with it not through conventional medicine, but through the laws of Karma.
