Two Psychiatrists...

Two psychiatrists were at a convention. As they conversed
over a drink, one asked, "What was your most difficult
case?"

The other replied, "I had a patient who lived in a pure
fantasy world. He believed that an uncle in South America
was going to die and leave him a fortune. All day long he
waited for a letter to arrive from an attorney. He never
went out, he never did anything, he merely sat around and
waited for this fantasy letter from this fantasy uncle. I
worked with this man eight years."

"What was the result?"

"It was an eight-year struggle. Every day for eight years,
but I finally cured him. And then that stupid letter
arrived!"
