Doctor Word-Salad

She had Wernicke’s Aphasia, so she would speak with normal sounding intonation, but with no rhyme or reason to the words. Total word salad.


I knew this, but every new assistant or nurse who cared for her would at some point get a bee in their bonnet that something she'd say had meaning, they'd take initials or think it was like a cryptic crossword clue. But there was no hidden meaning.


Like the time she told me that she knew I was poisoning her meals to keep her mad. Totally false, pure coincidence.


I was injecting her at night, see.
