WWFS?

(What Would Freud Say?)

Some people seem to have difficulty with reading aloud; they may stutter and stumble over words, or may leave out complete words. While discussing clinical scenarios the other day, our group's tutor read the following sentence, "a male physician is examining a 25 year old woman who is presenting with a small breast." Curious as to why having a "small breast" would constitute a medical condition, I then realized she had left out the word "lump" from the end of the sentence. Needless to say, our very embarrassed tutor refused to read any of the other scenarios herself.
