Saturday today, we spent the day seeing patients and
I want to rave about Complete Dynamics which is the homoeopathic
software we are using; gorgeous, beautiful, clear, fast repertory
program for checking that all the important symptoms of the patient
are in the remedy. Roger van Zandvoort and Eduard van Grinsven have
made a fantastic program which is literally a joy to use. Roger gave
us four copies of Complete Dynamics to put on the four donated
computers which we lugged over here for our students so I was going
to have to say something good about it anyway but I find my mouth
hanging open in an attempt to find an adjective great enough to
describe it.
I only started to use it at the beginning of this
week and I have been learning it as I teach it but today it was the
oil that soothed a stressful day's work. A stressful day because the
people we saw are really suffering. Many of the patients are in the
congregations of the pastors we are teaching who are more inclined,
now that they know us better, to tell us the background story of each
person so case taking becomes more harrowing. Some people lost all
their wares when the market burnt down putting them into a debt which
there may be no way out of. This could mean that their lifetime's
chance of having an ok amount of money to live on might be gone and
no amount of hard work is ever going to bring it back. How can you
make money if you don't have money? How can you grow food if you
can't buy seed?
My solace at the end of each story is the speed and
ease with which I can find a remedy using the Complete Dynamics
repertory so I know that some of each person's distress is going to
be eased at least.
So here is my review; Complete Dynamics opens fast,
is clear, simple to use and logical, has two excellent search methods
all on the same page so no worrying about which page to have open,
cuts out many of the excess steps involved in getting rubrics into
clipboards so is fast, allows you to pop rubrics in and out of the
analysis with out getting overwrought, (I mean the program doesn't
get overwrought but the practitioner doesn't either!) has an
incredibly useful highlighting tool so you can see exactly which
rubrics of the analysis a remedy is in or which remedies are in a
rubric, can skip easily and quickly to materia medica and back again,
saves each analysis in the right place at the end of each case all on
its own leaving you free to move onto the next patient fast, has lots
of pathways back if you make a total mess of anything, is visually
pleasing and easy on the eyes AND it uses up less battery which means
we get to work for longer when we are working without electricity
like today.
I have found a single problem, something I would like
to be able to do on the analysis page, but this program is so
consistently intelligent that I am presuming that as soon as I have
internet again and am back in touch with the world Roger is going to
be able to tell me how to do it.
We have had six copies of Complete Dynamics on the go
all week, being completely missused by people who are not used to it
and not used to computers and we have not had one crash.
Ps It takes about an hour to get a blog online. I
hope you are appreciating my dedication to blogging!!
