h p i - THERAPY

As I crossed the street I saw a rat, as flat as a coin, on the pavement. I did not pay much attention to it as the animal was more than dead, if that is possible.

If someone is dead, I know that I can not do anything special to make him alive again so I go on with my life. If someone is alive but not able to move because he is in a coma state I can not do nothing. I have to try to get in contact with the responsible for his treatment.

I read about Prins Frisos accident in Austria 4 days after the accident and I understood from the small article in the paper that I read that he was in coma. So I decided I had to get in touch with the responsible persons for his treatment.

Did I do wrong not to write to the hospital in Innsbruck? I tried to get in contact with his family by sending mails to the RVD, embassies and the queen, but I did not get an answer. I was at the consulate in Innsbruck and that too did not make me come in contact with someone who is responsible for the treatment of Prins Friso.

After having treated patients in coma and developing hpi-therapy which made it possible to a patient to close his mouth without help so he could answer my questions, I discovered that it does not make sense that I should keep this knowledge to me.

The treatment of a patient in coma does take 3 times 2 hours a week and that for 3 years, so one therapist can treat 8 patients if he works 6 days a week and in one week there are more patients that come into coma than the 8 that the therapist can treat in 3 years.

So I will have to instruct others how they can help patients in coma to get into movement again. It is a different method of treatment than the treatment that has been given until now and it will not make sense just to give this treatment 3x a week for 2 hours.

The treatment of patients in coma should be given all day and night long so the treatment of the day stimulates the treatment of the night and the other way around. Therapists and nursing personal must be aware of the importance of every handling they do or do not do.

Keeping the patient in the bed during the day does not stimulate his ability to move, nor does the treatment of the therapist stimulate the patient to be able to move if this treatment is not given with the heart.

Only if the treatment is done with the connection to the heart and with the goal to help the patient on his feet again, the treatment has a chance of success. If the treatment is given without the intention to help the patient to move again, the patient will feel this and will not be able to follow another intention.

The result of the hpi-treatment will always show the intention of all the persons involved and one person can be the reason why the treatment does not have the effect that is wanted, if this person is the one that is for the patient the most important person.
