Abstract

Exposure to carbon monoxide can damage the nervous system. Sometimes that damage disrupts speech, and sometimes it does not. And, when it does, not all of what one hears may have an organic basis. Coming to grips with altered speech can alter people in different ways--consciously and unconsciously. Finding out what is real and what is not is a good reason for getting up in the morning. It's my job. I'm a speech pathologist.
