Very Much Appreciated Small Blessings

He wanted oatmeal, the same breakfast as we had the day before. And a protein shake I make with bananas and cocoa powder, just like yesterday too.

For those of you who are parents, you understand what huge difference this can make on your day!




A Message From Ashtar

Another blogger and I are close friends. We talk online, with a form of chat. So we were talking during a long case that takes forever on a healthy patient as I watched the monitors and did the anesthesia (case went four hours)...

We were feeling 'stuck' in the energies and concerned if 'something had happened to hold everything back?'...

Ashtar called me UP--and this is our conversation:

A:  How are you?

C:  Not so good.

A:  I know. You are tired of the fight.

C:  Just not sure of anything, Ashtar. My life is so difficult.

A:  Have courage and keep up. You are doing the right things. When Anthony got sick that was hard on you -- not putting the decorations away (for Halloween).

C:  I don't set goals for ANYTHING! In any dimension. Did Ross send you?

A:  Yes. To both you and Isabel. About the button. We heard. We want you to know we are doing everything possible to get both of you Home with us. You WILL go home.

C:  (I relax) I am so glad. ( my energy readings on the monitors Ross and Ashtar watch get better readings, higher energy ones, with this relaxation.)

A:  God has happiness. Walk to it. Every day, just a little bit more, in your heart.

C:  I love everything, even you Ashtar. I love WHAT IS. I'm just not sure where I am headed?

A:  This is early entry into zero point. A sense of no movement. Of being 'stuck'. It is a good sign. I want to reassure you. We want to. 

C:  (I see Ross and I run to him)  Oh baby!!! (I cry)

Ross just holds me for the longest time and says, 'I love you'.

The Bachelor Doctor Patient

One of my colleagues is sick. I remember working with him, on call, and commenting on his weight loss? He looked great. He said he had some 'health issues' but declined to state what they are. This is about six weeks ago...

He is on chemo. His tumor is inoperable. Bret's Blog

One of the surgical technicians, Charles, told us in the doctor's lounge this surgeon who is very much loved in the O.R. for his incredible sense of humor,  was sick--and immediately I made a Reiki Request for him.

Yesterday, he assisted another surgeon on a hip fracture.

His energy had always been 'otherworldly'--cheerful, loving, competent, smart--today it was 'celestial'. He was focused and appreciating each day, each case, each interaction with us, because one day it will end.

My friend, Archangel Lauren, asked Raphael for the Divine Healing Code. She got it and I gave it.

Ross came near, and together, we sent healing to Dr. Bret during the case. For a long time (as I did the routine anesthetic and watched the monitors).

I gave the Cancer Therapy key, and I was Archangel Raphael pop in over Bret's left shoulder, and give a big 'thumbs up' and a smile.

I didn't say a word about any of this work I was doing. I didn't move. Only my eyes...and I 'sensed' he had a lot of pain from the tumor...so I gave Karuna Reiki, too.

At the end, he thanked everyone. As he left the room, he reached out his hand to mine, and held it...

I think he knew on a soul level what I was up to.

I also asked Ross if he is meant to Transition (he got that symbol too), might I please help him walk Home when it is his time?

Ross said, 'Yes'.

Ross

We have science here. (gestures to his ship and the fleet)

At the highest level, science and religion are one.

This is why the quantum frequencies that are 'dialing in' for certain disease states are curing--and I repeat--have the ability to CURE disease in the Higher Realms.

You aren't quite there yet. But you approach this state, with your physical bodies, which are concentrated Light as 'physical matter'.

Everything responds to Love.

So talk to it! A very wise reader advised a woman with hardware in her foot that asked for Reiki--'if you can't have it taken out, make friends with it! This hardware gives you freedom and mobility and independence! '

As the vibrations on Gaia increase, the power behind these Healing Codes will work even more for everyone who is sick. Even Dr. Bret.

As we think loving thoughts, and enjoy our happiness, the vibrations on Gaia go UP.

Do you see the connection?

Your HEART and your mind, working together, are raising the vibration of the energy on Gaia, drop by drop, as YOUR thoughts and emotions uplift from the negative to the positive!

So focus on your own progress, as a soul, and help lift Gaia UP.

It's your thoughts and your heart that do it. Not us. We only provide the environment where this can happen. You provide the 'push' to make it to the top.

And I encourage you, and all my teams, one hundred percent, to take that next step. And then another. And then another...

You are almost arriving at Zero Point.

Carla is going to be late for work. She has blueberry waffles and scrambled eggs today to make for breakfast. They are freezer waffles from Trader Joe's, and are very 'healthy', with only a little bit of maple syrup.

Carla has first call. It is a very long day of brutally difficult and challenging work.

I ask you to think of her, and send her your Love, as a way of giving thanks to all she does for you...and for us (up there).





Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,
Peace,

"He's A Fighter!"

Today we are going to talk about fear.

Fear as an underlying factor to control.

And about ignorance, both in the ways of Spirit, and the ways of Medicine.




The Head Of The Pancreas:
My Reiki practice has changed dramatically in the last several weeks.
Anyone who has taken Karuna Reiki would understand how it is possible to 'obtain permission' for healing 'on a soul level'.

Well now instead of the symbols, sometimes with my consciousness, I 'pop in' and speak with the soul directly. Nine times out of ten, Ross is there with me too when this takes place.

There is a certain chiropractor and his story that haunts me, and I can't say anything, because I am not 'officially hired' to do his anesthesia for my medical advice, or his Reiki for my spiritual advice.

The story is the same:

• he has pancreatic cancer that is curable
• pancreatic cancer is a terrible way to die--it is slow and painful and you turn yellow
• he doesn't want x,y, and z
• his wife and friend who are healers are giving him Reiki to 'do' a,b, and c
• he will accept a stent in the pancreas to open the flow, but not surgery
• this is a yellow chakra imbalance
• the pancreas represents the sweetness of life, cancer is a deep hurt, long-standing resentment. Deep secret or grief  eating away at the self. Carrying hatreds. 'What's the use?' (Louise Hay and Mona Lisa Shulz, MD, 'All Is Well'-table in the back of the book)
• the patient and his team are going to direct the way they layer his care--The Divine Healing Codes are a big part of them, so that's how I got into it.
• the whole team hasn't a clue about the importance of early intervention with a cancer. The cancer is not going to wait for people to to get used to it and stop growing while a treatment plan is being put together. 
• I doubt that the concept of Life Contracts, exit points, and Life Lessons are factored in to the decision-making process, too.

With the soul...I got fear. The man is totally terrified, curled up in a ball, and crying. It's a big operation. He knows it's the biggest one there is.  He is in shock. And he doesn't want to budge. 

He is stuck.

He is overwhelmed.

He is completely frozen by his limited medical understanding of the situation. As a chiropractor he may have helped to take care of the back pain people get when this disease is advanced.

With my spirit arms, I simply held him as he sobbed, and encouraged him to follow his heart, and to seek out all information that could be useful to him.

What Do I Have To Say About It:

The picture that flashed into my mind as I read the response was that of my favorite pancreas surgeon. He was a transplant, liver transplant, specialist. Now he mostly does Whipples. And he is awesome! He has these skills which are unearthly--unreal!--he makes this difficult operation look easy. He also has his favorite nurse in the OR with him at all times, because she prays for his patients, and 'her prayers stick'. When I am in that room with his team, I know that God is present in the hearts of everyone in it. We do what we are trained to do, plus pray for the Highest Good in our own way, for our patients.

I've been at this medicine thing for twenty-two years now. I've come across fear-based decision making. It is like the polling booth when you vote--this is the least awful thing so I'll take that! Here is one example: I don't want a spinal! I want a GENERAL! I don't want to hear anything that is going on. It's a knee-jerk reaction.

When I get this I smile. I relax. And I gently say, 'to say no to something is okay, as long as I am sure you have a working understanding of both choices first. Sometimes in the future, you might not have a choice (sometimes when people break a hip, it's just spinal. There is always a lot of sedation to go with it, our patients never hear a thing. They snore through the whole operation.) So I keep it quick; I give the pros and cons of both options. Even through we both know what they are going to choose anyway, I educate and support and work at the fear, and make sure they have an understanding of the options enough to make an informed decision for their care. If they ask for a recommendation, I will give it. But only if they ask. Both work fine in most situations. Sometimes it's surgeon preference, too, and I'll share with them that reason too--it's easier for your surgeon if you go with this choice...

What My Reiki Teacher And The Woman Who Inspired Me To Do Cardiac Anesthesia Have In Common?

Never think of the outcome.

Only think of the situation that is at hand, as a healer, and make the best choices and maintain hope for the Highest Good.

We don't direct Reiki. Reiki has intelligence. Reiki knows what to do and automatically flows to the right place. There might be other things we are not aware of, that Reiki will heal first,  and then get to the problem.

As a healer, I know when Reiki is indicated. And I send it. But I let go at the point where I am sending it. 

I might pick some symbols to enhance pain relief, or emotional healing, or other areas.

But I let go of the outcome, and let Reiki take care of the rest.

For my brave doctor from Bangalor, the one who was an obstetrician back home, and here trained for cardiac anesthesia, she trained me to appreciate being present in the moment. In the heart room, things change fast. There is no room for error in the clinical decision-making process. You track the blood pressure, EKG, and invasive monitoring pressures, and it's like a roller coaster, or sailing in a stiff wind. You are changing machine settings and pushing drips and drugs about as fast as your two hands can move at times. People code on the table, and the team works to get them back. It gets scary. And I asked her, how do you do this?! (so well).

She stressed the importance of making each decision to the best of your abilities at each time, and that keeping the focus in the now moment, instead of the end result (live or die) you have the best chances of saving your patient and having a good outcome.

This reminds me too of a wise doula I met in a delivery room, who said, 'we make informed choices each step of the way.' To her, she was not at odds with conventional medicine in childbirth. She understood the importance of taking the best of both worlds, and using it to the advantage of her client and the couple and the new baby...

Dear Chiropractor:

I pray for you.

Your story, although I've never met you except in spirit and only briefly interacted in the 'comments' section of a post to my wall, haunts me.

I've felt your anguish over what is happening, your diagnosis, and your need for medical care.

I've done pain blocks for pancreatic cancer pain, the kind where nerves are destroyed so that the pain signal can't be felt to that region any more. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3619093

I've gone in for a Whipple, and over the drapes seen that the cancer had spread, and it was too late to cure. We just close the skin and let the patient know we couldn't do the surgery.

I've seen vibrant, healthy people with a scar that looks like the logo for Mercedes Benz just under their ribs. I ask them, 'Oh? You've had a Whipple?' and they are like, 'Yes.' and I say, 'That's the biggest operation there is in general surgery--you can be very proud of that scar because we all know and respect the healing you have done to get through it.'

On your behalf, and all of your teams of healers, I am asking for All Divine Assistance. I ask for it pretty much constantly, with my heart. I ask this for you. 

I gave you Reiki. I let it go where it needs to go.

But I didn't let go of you.

Just like I told you in spirit, when we were soul to soul, it's going to be okay. 

I hope you believe it.

Aloha and Mahalos,

Namaste,

Peace,

Reiki Doc

Miracle #2: The Four-Hour Whipple

I was worried. The patient I was scheduled to do had been so sick that the Chief sent message for me to talk to the anesthesiologist who had evaluated her the day before. I had to make a separate phone call to him after getting my assignment from the front desk. We spoke for twenty minutes about this patient! I rarely have a concern over anyone that is sick: I have seen everyone and taken care of everything. I am a Cardiac Anesthesiologist. Anesthesia for the dying and the half-dead is my expertise! But for this one, I called Mom on the way in to work and asked her to pray for a good outcome on the case.

What was making me worry? It was the ongoing battle of sepsis. If the bacteria win, the patient has no blood pressure and anesthesia is very difficult and challenging, especially in the senior population. 

The tumor had blocked the biliary duct in the pancreas. Bile had backed up. A stent had been placed. But the bile did not drain. The liver, pancreas were inflamed. The urine was the color of coca-cola. The stool was the color of chalk. There was complete biliary obstruction, and early sepsis, with only a single dose of Zosyn stacking the deck in my favor.

And the surgeon. The most gifted one in the hospital. And his assistant, who normally scrubbed in for hearts and was frankly overqualified for this case.

I called in early for my Anesthesia Technician to set up for full invasive monitoring and transfusion capability during the case. At my old hospital we could send blood gases for lab work during the cases. Here, we did not, and I would have to fly by the seat of my pants in the case. I wanted arterial line with cardiac output monitoring capability, central venous pressure, and a blood warmer in the room.

In pre-op, the patient, a tiny thing, was eerily calm. No questions. The son was very concerned. I speak Spanish and I spoke well between the two of them. I did not give sedation prior to starting the case.

In the O.R., everything went like clockwork. Induction. Intubation. Securing the tube. The arterial line had some trouble going in, and then it jumped, like some unseen hand had guided it into the proper place. I moved on the the volume line, the large bore peripheral i.v. for access. And then the central line, the Triple Lumen Central Venous Catheter in the right I.J. In less than thirty minutes we were ready to scrub. For a heart, we allow one hour for anesthesia monitoring and induction, and I had expected one hour for this case.

Once asleep the surgery went flawlessly. The specimen had negative margins. Lymph nodes were negative. But there were two positive blood culture results reported to me in the O.R. Bacteremia with gram negative rods, Klebsiella most likely. The liver was a nasty shade of black from the backed-up bile within it.

I gave Reiki.

Inside, I was surprised. This patient wanted to die. They wanted to send the message to the family that 'everything had been tried', and to pass in the near future. The operation was going to be a success, but the patient was 'done'. I picked up the effort of trying to make a living and being a poor Latino just wore them out. The cards were stacked against me and I am tired and I want to go Home. I gave Reiki and the Transition Symbol, hoping there would be some resolution between patient, disease, surgeon, and family in the upcoming times. Most important, that soul wanted to be heard, and I understood. I let it know I did. (Mind you, all of this is taking place while I pretend to be futzing with my anesthesia equipment and the patient. I also am consciously running a safe anesthetic at the same time, which takes priority over the rest. During my treatment of Reiki, I got interrupted several times, for example, once to answer the phone from Pathology and put them on speaker for the surgeon to hear the results.)

We were done in record time. A Whipple takes six hours with the best of the best of foregut surgeons. This one took four, including a feeding jejunostomy and a g-tube to vent the stomach.

I woke the patient up, pulled the tube, brought them to recovery,  and talked to the family.

On some level, the son knew. He looked me in the eye, and kept thanking me as he shook my hand. He knew something major had taken place, on many levels. I felt it in his aura, not his words.

And the urine was bright yellow as we left the O.R. Not Coke brown. The jaundice was going to clear. 

I explained to the family that the bacteremia and sepsis I had anticipated were happening, but that their loved one was responding beautifully to treatments, and that all would be well.

While I went to the bathroom briefly during the case, the RN who was watching my monitors also goes to my church. I have given her anesthesia in the past, too, at her request. We are close. When I came back, she shared with me that she had been praying for our patient. I have never before or since heard anything like this. 

I said, 'I had been praying, too.' The R.N. said, 'When you told me that the patient was doing well, I wanted to start crying, I was so happy!'

We have hearts, those of us that work in Conventional Medicine. And we use them in our work. I thought you should know about this.

Namaste,

Reiki Doc
