The patient was admitted to hospital shortly before Christmas with severe abdominal pain. Diagnosis: peritonitis, pancreatitis, and cholecystitis. An operation to remove the gallbladder followed, and the patient spent several weeks in hospital. The peritonitis, which was accompanied by water retention, complicated the treatment.

 

What had happened?

Three months earlier, the woman had joyfully given birth to her first child. As the woman was unable to breastfeed her child, the boy reacted with the conflict of indigestible anger and came into healing after 6 weeks, resulting in intestinal inflammation. Initial misdiagnosis of the situation and other complicating circumstances made the child's symptoms worse and worse. A 2-month hospital stay followed. A few days after the boy returned home healthy, the mother began to experience abdominal pain. She reacted to her son's serious illness with territorial anger (liver/gallbladder and pancreas) and an attack on the abdomen (peritoneum), which she obviously felt for her newborn child.
