:46:05
It's a symptom...
:46:09
...of a type of disturbance in
the chemical.electrical activity of the brain.
:46:13
In your daughter's case,
in the temporal lobe.
:46:15
Up here in the lateral part of the brain.
:46:18
It's rare, but it does cause
bizarre hallucinations...
:46:21
...and usually just before a convulsion.
:46:23
A convulsion?
:46:24
The shaking of the bed.
That's doubtless due to muscular spasms.
:46:28
No, no, that was no spasm.
:46:31
I got on the bed.
:46:32
The whole bed was thumping
and rising off the floor...
:46:36
...and shaking, the whole thing!
With me on it!
:46:39
Mrs. MacNeil, the problem
with your daughter is not her bed.
:46:42
It's her brain.
:46:51
What causes this?
:46:53
Lesion in the temporal lobe.
:46:55
It's a kind of seizure disorder.
:46:57
Look, Doc, I really don't understand
how her whole personality could change.
:47:02
In the temporal lobe, it's very common.
:47:03
It is?
:47:05
It can last for days, even weeks.
:47:08
It isn't rare to find destructive...
:47:11
...even criminal behavior.
:47:14
Hey, do me a favor, will you?
Tell me something good.
:47:17
Don't be alarmed. If it's a lesion,
in a way, she's fortunate.
:47:21
All we have to do is remove the scar.
:47:39
Regan, can you sit up and scoot over here?
:47:47
A little more.
:47:49
Good.
:47:54
I'm just going to move you down
on the table, okay?
