Subject: locked-in syndrome
TIPSters, there is an article in the latest issue of BMJ on "Locked-in Syndrome" that can be of great interest to those teaching Physiological Psych. or even General Psychology. It can also be very useful in the context of discussions regarding the Schiavo case.
Living with locked-in syndrome
Nick Chisholm has been living with locked-in syndrome, also known as coma vigilante, since being injured on a rugby field in year 2000. Dissection of the vertebral arteries left him quadriplegic and without the ability to speak, but completely conscious. He shares his story on p 94. Interspersed with Nick's narrative, Grant Gillett provides information on this rare medical condition and discusses clinical and ethical issues that arise in locked-in syndrome.
