Case Study 1-1: Multiple Health Problems
Secondary to Injury
D.S., a 28-year-old woman, was treated for injuries sustained in a train derailment accident. During the course of her treatment, she was seen by several specialists. For pain in her knee and hip joints, she was referred to an orthopedist（整形外科医师）. For migraine headaches（周期性偏头痛）and blurry vision（视力模糊）, she consulted a neurologist（神经科医师）. For pain on urination （尿）nd occasional bloody urine, she saw a urologist. Later, for a persistent dry cough and problems resulting from a fractured nose, she was referred to an otorhinolaryngologist（耳鼻喉医师）. During her initial course of treatment, she had a CT scan of her abdomen（腹部）and brain and an MRI of her hip and knee. Both imaging studies required her to lie motionless on her back for 45 minutes. Several months after the accident, D.S. was still experiencing some discomfort, and she decided to investigate alternative therapies. She made an appointment with a naturist practitioner who specialized in homeopathy（顺势疗法）and herbal medicine. Before her appointment, she browsed in the Nutra-Medica Shop, which carried nutritional supplements, vitamin and mineral products, homeopathic remedies（顺势治疗药）, and herbal formulas. She planned to ask the therapist about some of the products that she saw there, which include remedies with the trade names Pneumogen, Arthogesia-Plus, Renovite, Nephrostat, and
Hematone.
