A Very Heaveh Burtation (Paraphasia...?) - Page 2

I've seen this referred to as Paraphasia. I don't know, but this is the kind of thing you see happen on House. But then afterwards the person collapses and blood shoots out their nose. Well they checked this lady out, and apparently didn't find anything wrong with her.

I find it fascinating that this sounds like normal speech, i.e. the structure and format of the words and sentences sound very similar to normal speech. Like the specific part of her brain that access directories of syllables got slightly corrupt and started calling incorrect entries.

By her mannerisms she appears to try to segue as quickly as possible into the next segment. She appears accutely aware of, and distressed by the fact that the part of her brain that we assume will translate our thoughts into speech has inexplicably failed.
