An Interesting Fact About Strokes

if you have a stroke and you have right

parietal damage y right parial damage y

you lose your perception of the left

side of your body but more than that

this is where it gets very weird you

lose the perception of left itself I

have no idea how to conceptualize that

but one of the consequences of that is

that people with profound neglect will

wake up and they'll become aware of

their left arm or their left leg after

they've had a stroke and they'll try to

throw it out of bed because they think

it's someone else's and if you get them

to draw a clock for example they'll draw

half a clock and cram all the numbers

into the right hand side and if you give

them a plate they'll eat half the food
