Written up as a piece, called \\\"The Possessed\\\", in his collection of biographic case-studies \\\"The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat - and other stories\\\" -- this very moving scene is one he\\\'d witnessed first-hand, btw . . . I\\\'ve experienced such events myself, also -- the grey-matter truly is like silly-putty . . .
