The science of this phenomenon dates back to 400 B.C., when Hippocrates, the founder of medicine, observed that some women seem to transfer \u2018hysteria\u201d to one another.\u00a0\u00a0 (If Hippocrates were here I\u2019d inquire about men transferring emotions, as well.\u00a0 But he\u2019s not, so I’ll just move along.)<\/p>\n
