what i've done is try to add some logic to the list. i've done that elsewhere. as far as i'm concerned, thank goodness someone is suggesting the possibility of rational explanations for "mysterious" events that are scaring some people half to death.
would you suggest that she not see a doctor? if not, then why are you attacking me? if her evaluation was for work, if it was done before this latest, most extreme attack, or if she did not discuss the previous episodes with her doctor, do you think the results of that evaluation could be determined any differently?
i have no idea if she's mentally stable or not. i am not a doctor. from what i can tell, you aren't one either. that's why we cannot tell her what's causing the problem or, as a result, what the solution is. a doctor can identify problems and rule other things out. you and i can't.
that said, if i had to take a shot in the dark, i would think it's entirely likely that's she's suffering from hypnagogia and sleep paralysis.

of course, there are also other more serious possibilities. if this were happening to me, to my mother, or to a friend, i would tell them to see a doctor. the fact that this woman is a nurse makes all of this even more important. if you or someone you loved was being treated by a nurse during a life threatening event, wouldn't you want to be as sure as possible that this person was psychologically well? of course. that's why the evaluations are done in the first place.
if her beliefs give her strength, then she can use those to help her during this time, or when visiting a doctor, or during any potential treatment. religious beliefs and medical attention are not mutually exclusive. she can have both. i think it would have been wrong had someone told her to throw all of her beliefs out the window because she was going for a new evaluation.
if i had intentions of trashing people for their beliefs, my posts would have been obviously different. i think you're more than welcome to believe in whatever you want. still, if someone is potentially suffering from a medical issue, someone out there should at least suggest they try to resolve it through proper medical help. i happen to think it would be irresponsible to respond alternatively. since i have not, in fact, insulted you for your beliefs, i'll also ask that you don't insult me for my own.
