When one patient from Salisbury was told her lavender, bergamot and pulsatilla tincture would not be available for another day, the worry caused her energies to become dangerously misaligned, whereupon she fainted and was immediately taken by ambulance to A&E.
Fortunately one nurse had seen these symptoms before at Glastonbury festival and knew to sit the terrified lady in a toilet with a burning incense stick and a warm rock until a wizard arrived.
