A teenage boy seemed placid as the doctor approached his hospital bed to give him a psychiatric evaluation.
His mother was seated nearby, immersed in her knitting. The doctor walked over and introduced himself to the boy. The boy looked right through the doctor and started screaming, “I can’t see! I can’t see!” The doctor had never witnessed such a dramatic example of hysterical blindness in his entire career! He turned to the mother and asked, “How long has this been going on?” Without looking up she replied, “Ever since you stepped between him and his television set.” |
