:52:19
She's heavily sedated.
:52:21
She'll probably sleep through tomorrow.
:52:25
What was going on in there?
How could she fly off the bed like that?
:52:30
Pathological states can induce
abnormal strength...
:52:35
...accelerated motor performance.
:52:38
For example...
:52:40
...say a 90.pound woman sees her child
pinned under the wheel of a truck...
:52:44
...runs out and lifts the wheels
a half a foot up off the ground.
:52:48
You've heard the story. Same thing here.
:52:52
Same principle, I mean.
:52:56
So what's wrong with her?
:52:59
We still think that the temporal lobe..
:53:02
What are you talking about,
for Christ's sake?
:53:04
Did you see her or not?
:53:06
She's acting like she's fucking
out of her mind!
:53:09
Psychotic, like a split personality, or....
:53:17
There haven't been more
than 100 authentic cases...
:53:20
...of so.called "split personality,"
Mrs. MacNeil.
:53:24
Now, I know the temptation is
to leap to psychiatry...
:53:29
...but any reasonable psychiatrist would
exhaust the somatic possibilities first.
:53:36
So, what's next?
:53:38
A pneumoencephalogram,
I would think, to pin down that lesion.
:53:43
It will involve another spinal.
:53:44
Oh, Christ!
:53:46
What we missed in the EEG
and the arteriograms...
:53:49
...could conceivably turn up there.
:53:53
At least it would eliminate
certain other possibilities.
