Ping!
OMG are you kidding Sunday UK times LOL!
I thought Scooge was just bastard
It was a brilliant Christmas story that has endured the years. Anyone reading anything more into it are nuts themselves.
I thought he was dropping acid.
And all these years I just thought it was a fictional book.
Memo to Dr. Robert Chance Algar: put a sock in it, you arrogant publicity seeker... you are dead wrong. Lewy body dementia has symptoms of drowsiness, lethargy, lengthy periods of time spent staring into space, and disorganized speech... none of which were shown by Scrooge.
This reminds me of some hacks from UCSD who "diagnosed"
Samson with antisocial personality disorder a few years back.
Since when is Charles Dickens a Psychiatric clinician? He wrote a story about a man who had turned cold toward humanity because of past experiences, and recovered from the error of his ways.
Why is it so hard for some to accept that people can have supernatural (i.e. spiritual) experinces and be completely healthy. Why must some constantly replace the spiritual with the secular and attempt to explain the miraculous with the mundane. Dickens wasn't describing a medical condition, he was depicting a change of heart.
Ives, I wish Drs. Algar and Saunders a visit from their own personal Jacob Marley(s) for Christmas.
Well, at least they aren't "debunking" the Christian religion. If they want to play the "the miracle was really a mental illness/illusion/legend/result of two sparrows flying from Africa with a coconut" game with a fictional character instead of my Lord, they're welcome to it.
"I dont know, it must have been the doses..."
You've got to be kidding me
These people really need to get a life
Well, that's a fun article... is it supposed to be? Do these people want others to disregard their profession, or what?
Are these the same people who recently determined that Mad Man Mohammed's "visions" were the result of brain disease as well?
He had low self-esteem and an eating disorder, too. LOL!
now Melville's Bartleby the Scrivener, there's a true case study.
Scrooge was a liberal?
