The Case of Greg F.
Jeanne Lee
As Dr. Oliver Sacks recounts, Greg had been afflicted by a meningioma roughly the size of an orange, and though it did not seem to cause him pain, his eyesight gradually deteriorated and he became a completely different person under the care of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in the Brooklyn temple. As a follower in the temple, he found himself more content: "obedient, ingenuous, devoted, and pious" (43). Even so, he underwent unforeseen changes, loss of eyesight just the beginning of a series of very unfortunate events.
