Woman with classic symptoms of Wernicke's Aphasia.
-
Woman with classic symptoms of Wernicke's Aphasia. Speech is fluent and lexical choice is confident ("P-side"), but syntax, semantics and pragmatics are disordered (
S-side"). Associated with injury to Wernicke's region of the superior temporal gyrus of your dominant hand."I could not get off of it because it was not able to use me."
> Where's your shoes at?
"Yes, can I please?"
> Where are you trying to go?
"To this. I'm done with it. Will you go with me?"
Sought medical help @ her hotel because of undefined health issues - Discharged from the hospital (misdiagnosed as just aggressive diabetic) and then the cops are called because people think she's a drug addict (drug tests were all 100% clean). She's charged w/ Public Intoxication (based on fuckall).
She dies after a stroke in prison the next morning. They kept giving her Narcan. Because Police Do Crime, not Medicine, so since she was contacted by the Police, it was Crime.
Ya'll keep rollin' your brain dice w/ Covid. This'll be your future.

I really wish the notion that someone having trouble "is on drugs" wasn't such a common assumption OR an excuse to just totally dismiss their distress and treat them badly.
Because even when it is "drugs" that's no excuse for failing to really see or help a person who is having a health crisis.
