    CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTER

    The MD: Christine Cliatt Brown is excellent at helping me to understand these issues I have. My particular lost brain area "cause effect" is basically what she has helped me to understand and live with. What has happened is that I have no control over lost word memory because that part of my brain is gone. This requires me to learn how to live despite the lost ability to tell others what I think. I still have a reasonable memory regardless of my lost vocal word memory. I can no longer read or discuss with words that were in that area of my brain that has died. This reply has taken me over 1 hour to write because the words I am using I have to lookup how to spell and then read it over to decide if this makes any sense. Hopefully it does ... Thanks [NAME REMOVED]
