Albert Einstein at School
Albert was really going to have a nervous breakdown when he met Dr. Ernest Weil. What does it show about Albert’s character?
Albert needed a medical certificate from a doctor. If the doctor could certify that he suffered from a nervous breakdown, he would stay away from school. But Albert was a simple and straightforward boy. He didn’t know any craft. He had spent the whole day wondering what to tell the doctor. He was so much worried that he was about to have a nervous breakdown.
