- Mr. Q, age 64 years, developed a severe headache several hours ago that has not responded to acetaminophen (Tylenol). Now his speech is slurred, and his right arm and the right side of his face feel numb. He is very anxious and is transported to the hospital. Mr. Q has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, and there is a family history of CVA(Cerebrovascular Accident) and diabetes. Assessment at the hospital indicated weakness on the right side, including facial asymmetry and blood pressure of 220/110 Hg mm. A CT scan showed damaged tissue on the left side of the brain, and an angiography indicated a narrowing of the carotid arteries and middle cerebral arteries, with occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery.

Many years later she is found slumped in her cell, quite confused and with apparent paralysis in her right arm. When the jailer speaks to her, she is unable to produce any clear speech. Callisto can understand very simple sentences, and her sight is not affected. It is determined that she has a vascular occlusion (blockage) in her internal carotid artery. Callisto’s blood pressure is markedly lower than would be expected under physiological conditions. Based on this information, how are these structures in brain affected (if they are).

Those were merely the mechanics of stuttering, the realities to which one who stutters adjusts his expectations of life. Rather, what was most pervasive about my stutter is the strange role it played in determining how I felt about others, about you. My stutter became a barometer of how much confidence I felt in your presence. Did I perceive you as friendly, patient, kind? Or as brash and aggressive? How genuine was your smile? Did you admire my talents, or were you wary of my more unseemly traits? In this way I divided the world into two types of people: those around whom I stuttered and those around whom I might not. The onset of my stutter occurred under typical circumstances: I was 4; I had a father who carried a stutter into adulthood; and, at the time,…arrow_forward
