Speaker 4 (02:18):
Very For instance, if you hold this newspaper up to
an amnesiac and asked him to name it, he might
call it a bottle. Why Because there's a disturbance of perception,
probably caused by hysteria or a psychic trauma, which irritates
the lenticular zone. I think I wanna ah, Well, it's

Daddy let snooks out of his sight for a few minutes,
and she disappeared. After hours of frantic telephoning, he's finally
discovered her in a police station, and she claims she
doesn't know who she is.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Listen, yes, her way, got a kid here, all right,
But you don't know her name?

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh she's faking, doctor, I know she is.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Because I know where she got the idea. I read
an item to her today about a woman with amnesia.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Mister Higgins, are you questioning my diagnosis? No, doctor, but
it's a true case of amnesia if I ever saw one,
and I've seen plenty.

She does too, it's snookes. Well what is it, doctor, frash?
She's putting it on? Isn't there any tests you can

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Mister Higgins, you're making it very difficult me to conduct
this examination. The child has shown no signs of returning
to a normal state. The fact that she mentioned the
mummy and daddy proves absolutely nothing.

her head in salt water.

make her insensitive to pain.
