I once knew a man who hallucinated that he was dead. No amount of persuasion from his family could convince him that he was actually still alive.
He finally agreed to go and since a doctor. The doctor got him to agree that dead men don't bleed. He then pricked the end of my friend's finger which of course started to bleed.
The doctor said, "There, what does that tell you?"
My friend replied, "My God, dead men do bleed!"
