Measles, influenza, the usual things.
No serious illnesses.

1:07:03
Perhaps that much is true.
1:07:07
Sit down, please.
1:07:15
- You think I've been lying to you?
- I'm sure of it.

1:07:19
People named Smith rarely
have the letters "L.G." on their clothing.

1:07:23
- I'm sorry.
- That's not important.

1:07:25
It merely makes it a little more difficult
for me to help you.

1:07:28
And you do need help. Take this.
1:07:35
Incoordination.
Now close your eyes, please.

1:07:40
Hold out your hand.
1:07:44
What does that feel like to you?
1:07:46
A piece of cloth.
1:07:47
Now the other hand.
1:07:49
That doesn't feel like a piece of cloth,
does it?

1:07:53
- No, it doesn't.
- What does it feel like?

1:07:57
I don't know.
1:07:58
A piece of sandpaper, perhaps?
1:08:01
Yes, that's it.
1:08:03
Open your eyes.
1:08:07
Extreme suggestibility.
1:08:09
And that pounding noise
you hear at night...

1:08:12
that's easily explained, Mrs. Smith.
1:08:21
It's merely the sound
of your own heart beating.

1:08:23
Blood pulsation can be heard as sound.
1:08:26
It's a common symptom of neurasthenia.
1:08:29
What's wrong with me, Doctor?
1:08:31
Why do I see things that aren't...
1:08:33
that just couldn't be real?
1:08:35
Sometimes a patient can't distinguish
between reality and unreality.

1:08:40
In your case,
you're still able to make that distinction.

1:08:42
But what if it gets worse? What then?
1:08:44
There is a type of nervous disorder
in which that happens.

1:08:47
We all have dreams, Mrs. Smith.
Bad dreams, sometimes.

1:08:51
But we wake up
and we say that was a bad dream.

1:08:54
Occasionally, however,
we find a patient who can't wake up.

1:08:57
He or she lacks insight...
1:08:59
the ability to distinguish
between what is real and what isn't.
