- Dr. Salazar was a fast talker, devoid of personality. Lolly's vitals had stabilised, she said. Her stroke was ischemic, caused by a clot rather than a rupture. She'd come in exhibiting classic symptoms: weakness on her left side, double vision, aphasia.

"A disconnect between what the patient's trying to say and what's being communicated. For instance, Louella thinks to herself, I'm thirsty. I want more ice chips. But when she verbalises it, it comes out as gibberish."
