“Who is accompanying the patient “Dr.Nick Enquired? “ His wife “ Dr.Ken replied.
Let us talk to her.
The doctors came out of the ward. Ursula was waiting outside for last 20-25 minutes. She was not sure what was going inside between the two doctors. However when he saw Patrick talking to them, she got somewhat relieved.
“Hello doctors , I am Ursula, Patrick’s wife “ Ursula introduced herself to the doctors
“ Hi Lady. Nothing serious. Just a sort of panic attack. As a Precautionary measure we will keep Patrick under observation till next few hours.” Dr. Ken informed,
“Thank you very much doctor. A great help during this odd time “ Ursula thanked them.
Dr. Nick was more curious to know what was that which made Ursula to bring her husband to emergency ward in the wee hours of the morning. He asked Ursula to come to Dr.Ken’ s cabin to understand the issue.
“Tell us what happened “Dr.Nick initiated the conversation.
“You know, at around 2 am today, I heard some movement and a feeble voice. When I woke up and switched on the lights, I could see Patrick shivering and shocked. He was completely wet with sweat. He was unable to speak and was grasping for breath. His hands were looking just like a paralytic attack “Ursula narrated. She was almost in tears.
“Calm down Mrs. William “Dr. Ken intervened.
“Is he having any medical history “ Dr.Nick asked.
“Last 2 months, he is put on psychotropic drug therapy “Ursula replied.
“ And for what “ Dr. Nash continued.
“ Ever since we moved in here , for last 2 months , Patrick is facing some unusual problems. During the night he experiences certain abnormal experiences and gets completely shattered. Sometimes he says somebody tried to strangulate him, sometimes someone pushed him from the bed while many times he claims to have heard strange noises. But mostly he had handled these experiences calmly.
I am not sure if he has experienced similar thing today. But when I work up he was in deep shock, shivering and wet with sweat. He was unable to speak or almost immobile “Ursula replied.
“So He had undergone medical checkup already “Dr.Nick started probing further.
“Yes almost complete health checkup at Fischer’s Clinic “Ursula replied
“And everything was ok “Dr.Nick questioned. “Yes “ “ So it was concluded to be a psychosomatic case and put on drugs .right ?” “ Yes ,Doc.” “Curious case “Dr.Nick commented.
“ How you seen any improvement after the drug therapy started ?” This time Dr.Ken asked.
Dr.Nick somehow did not like the question. The reason Patrick was brought as an emergency clearly showed that drugs had hardly helped him. However he kept mum.
“First 2-3 days after the drug therapy, it seemed like things have improved. But again the same instances and experiences started happening “Ursula was looking helpless.
“Mam, even we think this is some type of mind and body disorder prima facie. But let us watch for some more time. However there is nothing serious “Dr.Nick assured her.
Patrick was fully awake. He knew that Ursula had moved him to the emergency ward. He could hear the conversation between the two doctors who attended to him. He was vaguely remembering the horrendous experience at home few hours back.
“Was that real or I saw a dream? “ Patrick started asking himself.
His mind was trying to find out the cause. If it was a dream then how come Ursula judged that I was in a problem? If it was not a dream then who was doing this to me?
“Is it a ghost? Or is this a haunted house?” Human mind is difficult to control. It always thinks which enemies also do not think about you.
“Ghost? Then why I am not able to see it .Ghost in the 21'st century? they are good in Hollywood movies “Patrick
