Women Hears Voices Telling Her To Go To The Doctors! AMAZING STORY!, page 1

I thought I had seen this on ATS before but after a few searches I couldn't find it. So here you are.

This story is one of the strangest, most wonderful stories I have ever read and it couldn't come from a more credible source. The British Medical Journal. In 1984 a European migrant known only as AB was sitting reading at her home in Britain. AB was a normal everyday women, a mother, housewife but she was about to have an experience that would not only change her life but save it.

While AB sat reading she heard a voice!

Please don't be afraid. I know it must be shocking for you to hear me speaking to you like this, but this is the easiest way I could think of. My friend and I used to work at the Children's Hospital, Great Ormond Street, and we would like to help you.”

Shocked and confused AB went too see her doctor. She told the doctor about the voices and what they had said. The doctor, Dr. I.O. Azuonye diagnosed AB with functional hallucinatory psychosis. He treated her with thioridazine, an anti-psychotic.

This had seemed to work, the voices had stopped. Atleast until AB went on holiday. While away, the voices came back. The voices told her she needed immediate medical assistance and that she should return back to the UK as soon as possible.

Back in England, the voices give AB an address. When she arrived AB was shocked to see it was a C.A.T scanning unit of a hospital in London. The voice told AB that she had a brain tumor and an inflammed brain stem. Now in full panic mode AB went back to Dr. I.O. Azuonye, who, to comfort her got AB a scan.

After some squabbling with the government-run health-care system, the CAT scan was eventually carried out.

They did the scan and to everyone's surprise, unfortunately AB did indeed have a brain tumour. The voices were correct.

It turns out that AB had a "not rare but not common" tumour that shows no symptoms. AB doctors opted for immediate removal. The voices agreed.

While coming round from the op, the voice spoke to AB one last time.

We are pleased to have helped you. Goodbye

AB made a full recover and never heard from the voices again.

So what were the voices? God? Angels? Dead relatives? A hoax?

Well, Michael Prescott put it perfectly in his blog:

Azuonye reports that while some doctors accept the case as genuinely paranormal, others have suggested either fraud or a subconscious motive. Those who allege fraud speculate that the patient had been given the diagnosis of a brain tumour in her original country and wanted to be treated free under the NHS. Hence, they surmised, she had made up the convoluted tale about voices telling her this and that. Azuonye objects: But AB had lived in Britain for 15 years and was entitled to NHS treatment. Besides, she had been so relieved when the voices first disappeared on thioridazine that she had gone on holiday to celebrate the recovery of her sanity.

Thanks TC.

I'm surprised you find it fishy. I am usually quite skeptical about these sorts of subjects but this one just seems to ring true. Perhaps because of the source.

Good luck with your research. I look forward to your findings.

I think sometimes we "know" more about what's going on in our bodies than we consciously realized. It's possible her mind, by some mechanism not yet understood, realized there was a problem, and communicated it to her consciousness, in a way not yet understood.

I think this explanation amazes me more than the paranormal one! Can you imagine, a biological process that lets the conscious mind know theres something wrong with it.

Having said that the precision of the information land that theory right next to the paranormal one.

You could be right. I have read that tumours can cause all kinds of sensory hallucination. Obviously it depends on where the tumour is placed.

But would anti-psychotics stop the hallucination? I wouldn't think so as they are cause by the leisons on the brain. But I'm not sure of this so ill have to check it.

They would. Anti-psychotics do stop hallucinations as in the case of the patient in the story.

This is a profile for the doctor in the story;

Judging by his previous works I would say he hasn't made this up. But it does need further research.

That is a great story and i do believe it happened.

I was driving home, years ago, from my ex boyfriend's house and I heard a lady's voice say in my head, "Turn around and go back". So I turned around and went back to his house and caught my boyfriend cheating on me. Never forget that and I too thank that voice I heard!

Very very cool

You have an abundance of woman's intuition and that lady's voice you heard was your subconscious alerting you to clues you were not consciously seeing.

I am sure that you would make one heck of a detective/scientist or investigator of some kind.
