This man suffering
from a conversion hysteria
requires immediate treatment.
Organically sound, his paralysis
is as real
as if were caused by a spinal
lesion.
But it is purely psychological.

though.
That's fine.
Now sit yourself over there.
Well, now, can you move over
just a little
so I can talk to you?
Yes, sir.
Now, what is the trouble?
