At first he simply put his hands on people and they would mysteriously start to get better. Since 1985, however, he has performed “operations” on lots of people. Turoff says the operations are done through him by the spirit of Dr Kahn, now dead. Dr Kahn was an Austrian who lived in the last century. Turoff is a so-called “psychic doctor”. He appears to cut people open and operate, using no medication, and leaving no permanent scars. Many doctors and scientists believe that Turoff is a fraud, but many of his patients say that they have been cured of pain and disease. spirit: Geist healing: Heilung durch Handauflegen 1 Neil’s problem before the visit 2 Why Neil chose to go to Stephen Turoff 3 His first impressions of Turoff’s wife 4 Neil’s first impressions of Turoff 5 The average time Turoff spends with his patients 6 How Neil felt in the treatment room before Turoff came in true false 1 Turoff wanted to know everything about Neil’s life. 2 Turoff’s voice was different from what it had been in the waiting room. 3 Neil believed Dr Khan was talking to him through Turoff. 4 Neil felt a knife cut into his stomach. 5 Neil saw two lumps come out of his stomach. 6 Turoff told Neil to keep his life simple. 7 Neil was left with pain in his stomach after the “operation”. 8 Neil had a scar for only a few hours. 9 Only Stephen Turoff can explain what he does. 10 Neil would never go back to see Turoff. 1/06 1/07 55 3 Extensive unit 3: Unsolved mysteries Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
