Dr. Taney:
Pathological states can induce abnormal strength. Accelerated motor performance. Now, for example, say a 90 pound woman sees her child pinned under the wheel of a truck. Runs out and lifts the wheels a half a foot up off the ground - you've heard the story - same thing here. Same principle, I mean.Chris MacNeil:So what's wrong with her?Dr. Klein:We still think the temporal lobe.Chris MacNeil:Oh what are you talking about, for Chrissakes? Did you see her or not? She's acting like she's fucking out of her mind, psychotic, like a... split personality or...Dr. Taney:There haven't been more than a hundred authentic cases of so-called split personality, Mrs. MacNeil. Now I know the temptation is to leap to psychiatry. But any reasonable psychiatrist would exhaust the somatic possibilities first.Chris MacNeil:So, what's next?Dr. Taney:A pneumoencephalogram, I would think. Pin down that lesion. It will involve another spinal.Chris MacNeil:Oh, Christ.Dr. Taney:What we missed in the EEG and the arteriograms could conceivably turn up there. At least, it would eliminate certain other possibilities

Pathological states can induce abnormal strength
00:00:06.589 --> 00:00:09.001
accelerated motor performance
00:00:09.467 --> 00:00:11.527
For example
00:00:11.678 --> 00:00:15.865
say a 90 pound woman sees her child pinned under the wheel of a truck
00:00:16.182 --> 00:00:19.066
runs out and lifts the wheels a half a foot up off the ground
00:00:19.727 --> 00:00:22.288
You've heard the story Same thing here
00:00:23.815 --> 00:00:26.002
Same principle I mean
00:00:28.611 --> 00:00:30.505
So what's wrong with her
00:00:31.948 --> 00:00:33.883
We still think that the temporal lobe
00:00:33.095 --> 00:00:37.001
Oh what are you talking about for Christ's sakes
00:00:37.161 --> 00:00:39.305
Did you see her or not
00:00:39.372 --> 00:00:41.682
She's acting like she's fucking out of her mind
00:00:41.749 --> 00:00:46.229
Psychotic like a split personality or
00:00:48.131 --> 00:00:50.149
Oh Jesus I'm sorry
00:00:50.425 --> 00:00:52.944
There haven't been more than 100 authentic cases
00:00:53.998 --> 00:00:56.697
of so called split personality Mrs MacNeil
00:00:57.515 --> 00:01:02.245
Now I know the temptation is to leap to psychiatry
00:01:02.311 --> 00:01:07.998
but any reasonable psychiatrist would exhaust the somatic possibilities first
00:01:09.944 --> 00:01:12.049
So what's next
00:01:12.321 --> 00:01:16.592
A pneumoencephalogram I would think to pin down that lesion
00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:18.678
It will involve another spinal
00:01:18.745 --> 00:01:20.179
Oh Christ
00:01:20.246 --> 00:01:23.001
Well what we missed in the EEG and the arteriograms
00:01:23.875 --> 00:01:26.001
could conceivably turn up there
00:01:27.295 --> 00:01:31.566
At least it would eliminate certain other possibilities
