Thank You, Dex
Good stuff, Dex.
Interestingly, I had a similar experience back in the early ‘70’s. I was on a Flag Mission wherein I had to interface with some GO folks from the area's local org. The day I wrapped up my MO’s the AG invited me out to dinner with some of the GO staff.
During dessert the AG/PR (a very attractive young lady) spilled a scalding hot decanter of tea in her lap. She was in extreme pain. I did my best to immediately replicate a contact assist which helped her some immediately.
It was very late at night and my flight out was in late morning the next day but I offered to give her an assist. We went to her apartment and she was in such discomfort that she had to remove her dress and panties. I saw that she had some aloe plants and cut some shoots open and had her apply the gel to the burns on her genitalia and thighs. My TR’s were completely in and I ran, alternately, Touch Assists and “Point to where it happened; Point to where you are now”, and “Tell me about where it happened; Tell me about where you are now”.
After about 3 hours she was looking and feeling better and much more comfortable and started an itsa line so I went with that 2WC, earlier similar for a while and she LFBDed, Coged and went into a terrific 10 minute line charge and I just sat there silent and let her flow. When the line charge ended I gave her the “anything else you’d like to say…” prompt and she sad, "yes", itsa'd for a few minutes and went into another line charge that lasted 20 minutes. After that one ended I ran “Look around the room and find something that you’re not in”, havingness to EP origination “I’m not in my body”, prompted and, with "Best Session I ever had. WOW! I thought there was something wrong with me. That's it...that's all I have to say, " origination, ended session.
She was in zero pain and VVVGI’s. I suggested she should see a doctor as although she was not in pain her skin was very blistered and she said she'd do that the next day. I told that I’d write up the session and drop it off at the Org before I left and that she should go to the Examiner at her earliest convenience. I stayed there until she was ready to sleep and left for my hotel…about 5 AM. I packed, wrote up the session (this was all without a meter) for her folder and dropped it off with the Dir Comm three hours later, went to the airport and flew back to Flag.
A few weeks later several Commendations arrived from the AG and C/S. The PC had a Floating TA at the examiner the next day and, several weeks later, still had a persistent FN. Apparently the young lady had been having a tough time in her auditing and the AG was concerned and, in her words “Not only was Officer Face a highly competent Missioanaire and excellent to work with, he cracked my AG/PR’s Case”.
As an aside, this was one of the inadvertent occurrences that made for a very comfortable and easy going relationship between Mary Sue and me. We all have our faults and I’ve tried to write my take on El Ron and Mary Sue as objectively as possible here on this thread. I am still very fond of Mary Sue to this day…she was a good women that deserved so much better than she got.
Please excuse me for “creating on your create”, Dex. Your story brought back a memory from long ago and I get exactly where you’re coming from. VVWD to you and keep it coming…you’ve got good stuff and I'm very glad you're here with all of Us!

PS: Someday I’ll get around to completing my “What and Why” Story and that will, hopefully, clarify more for all y’all…and yours truly…just where I am at re: Scn and the “Tech”.:confused2:
So there I was, escaping the New York City winter weather since fall 1981, and through the winter 1981-2, in sunny Miami. My org's ED sent me a message asking how soon I'd be back, and I told him to let me know when the weather got warm up there
It was the middle of March, and per tradition there was the March 13 "Ron's Birthday event". As it was ending, I was standing around in the parking lot behind the main org building shooting the breeze with a group of TTC students and interns when a woman approached us in a somewhat frenzied state. She gave her name (I won't disclose it here), identified herself as OSA staff (OSA was very new and largely undefined for most of us) and explained that she was seriously sick and needed help of an auditing nature, and that she was on the confidential Key to Life Course, and so any handling had to be done through the KTL Case Supervisor. She was in a panic, and nobody knew what to say to her.
Observing that this woman needed not only help but some immediate reassurance, I took control of the situation. I asked her which dorm room she was staying in and told her to go lie down there, and I would meet her there shortly to help her. Somewhat relieved, she went on her way. One of my circle asked me what I was going to do, and I truthfully answered "I have no idea, but I'll figure it out".
I sought out a staff member who could immediately get a message from me to the KTL C/S, who in turn quickly sent out to me an emergency assist program to run on this woman. I looked it over and headed to the woman's room, with the rest of the circle of students and interns tagging along.
With the others hanging back in the far section of the dorm, I had a brief conversation with my PC and commenced with the program. I don't recall what the assist process was, but it grinded and grinded, without producing any sort of change, and after a little while I just bridged over to the next process, which was a touch assist.
This woman was very sick, very weak, in much pain, dizziness and discomfort. As the assist went on through the night, there were frequent originations from her that she was just about to die, that she was dropping the body there and then. Fortunately, from the very beginning of my training I was a very confident auditor, and I knew it was important for my PC's to exude that confidence, and it served me well in this situation. I calmly and firmly coaxed her to "stay with me, we've got a little more to do, this body is save-able", and it required that she do her part and carry on with the process. (Honestly, I couldn't tell you why it never entered my mind that she might belong in an emergency room, other than supreme confidence that I would successfully get her through whatever this was).
My PC did stay with me, and we ran a very long touch assist, which ran past midnight, from March 13th, "Ron's birthday", to March 14th, which just happens to be "Dex's birthday". 9but for some reason, I don't recall there being any "Dex's Birthday events"
Eventually, she brightened up, smiled, very relieved and told me she felt much better. She sure did look like she felt much better. She sat up, then stood up, looking quite chipper. The next day she found me, and smiling told me she'd been to a doctor and found that she'd had a kidney infection, and thankfully expressed "That was very OT of you".
I had actually, some time earlier, come across the idea of saving a life with auditing, and I'd decided I really wanted to do that. I do believe that at this time and place, I accomplished that goal.
Love, Dex
