Albert Einstein at School
Why did Albert feel the medical certificate ‘almost burning a hole in his pocket’?
Albert Einstein needed a medical certificate from a doctor. If the doctor could certify that he suffered from a nervous breakdown, he could stay away from the school. Albert had really worked hard to get that certificate from Dr. Ernest Weil. But now the certificate was of no use to him. It was almost ‘burning a hole in his pocket’. He was being expelled from the school even before he could produce it to the head teacher.
