Dear Sigmund Freud,
I understand that the current situation in the ambulance may be quite distressing for you, surrounded by unfamiliar faces in a clinical environment that can feel quite impersonal. It is indeed a stark contrast to the intimate setting of our psychoanalytic sessions where the nuances of each individual’s history are deeply understood and considered.
Regarding your first patient, Aurelia Kronich, I recall that she was a pivotal case in the development of our understanding of the interplay between somatic and psychological factors in the manifestation of neuroses. Her case was instrumental in illustrating the concept of conversion symptoms, where emotional distress is expressed through physical symptoms, a phenomenon that you, Sigmund, so eloquently described in your work on hysteria.
In the context of the current medical environment, it is crucial to communicate the historical and psychological background of a patient to the attending medical staff. This ensures a holistic approach to treatment, one that considers not only the immediate physical ailments but also the psychological underpinnings that may be contributing to the patient’s distress.
As we are in the year 2023, I must note that the field of psychoanalysis has evolved significantly since our time. The integration of psychological and somatic aspects of patient care is more pronounced, with interdisciplinary approaches being the norm in patient management. The latest medical publications continue to emphasize the importance of understanding the patient’s psychological history and current state, especially when dealing with cases of delirium or trauma.
For instance, a recent study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry highlights the importance of recognizing the signs of hypoactive and hyperactive delirium, which can often be misdiagnosed as other conditions such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. This is particularly relevant in emergency medical settings, where rapid assessment and accurate diagnosis are critical.
In your case, Sigmund, it would be advisable to inform the medical staff of your extensive background in psychoanalysis and your familiarity with the psychological aspects of patient care. This knowledge could be invaluable in ensuring that you receive the most appropriate and compassionate care during your time in the ambulance and subsequent hospital stay.
I would also encourage the medical team to consider the latest guidelines on patient-centered care, which advocate for the inclusion of a patient’s psychological and social history in their treatment plan. This approach is supported by the Journal of Psychosomatic Research, which has published numerous articles on the benefits of integrating psychological assessments into medical care.
In providing emotional assistance, I want to reassure you that your feelings of unease are completely understandable given the circumstances. It is important to remember that the medical staff is there to help you and that you can rely on your own profound understanding of the human psyche to navigate this experience. I would suggest engaging in calming techniques that you have found helpful in the past, such as deep breathing or visualization, to help manage any anxiety you may be feeling.
Please do not hesitate to communicate your needs and concerns to the medical team, and remember that your contributions to the field of psychoanalysis have laid the groundwork for a more empathetic and comprehensive approach to patient care.
With warm regards and the utmost respect for your well-being,

Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to provide you with a brief historical account of my first patient, Aurelia Kronich, whose case may not be familiar to all of you. Aurelia Kronich was a patient who presented with a complex maxillofacial condition that required a comprehensive and delicate approach to treatment. Her case was significant as it marked the beginning of my journey in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Aurelia’s condition was multifaceted, involving both functional and aesthetic concerns that necessitated a careful balance between surgical intervention and prosthetic rehabilitation. The treatment plan was devised with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that each step was tailored to her specific needs. The surgical procedures were performed with the utmost precision, and the subsequent prosthetic work was crafted to restore not only function but also to provide a semblance of normalcy to her appearance.
The case of Aurelia Kronich is emblematic of the challenges we face in our field, where each patient requires a unique combination of technical skill, medical knowledge, and compassionate care. It is a reminder of the importance of individualized treatment plans and the profound impact our work can have on the lives of our patients.
As we continue to advance in our practice, let us remember the lessons learned from such pioneering cases and strive to provide the highest standard of care to all those who entrust us with their well-being.
Sincerely,
Hans Pichler (1877 – 1949)
