JOHN SIMS AND HIS DOCTOR

SUSAN DENTZER: So Dr. Slater, take us back to July 1, 2003, when John arrives ... what kind of condition was he in? DR. DANIEL SLATER: John, when you arrived here from Richmond, you had a plethora of problems both cognitively from your brain injury, as well as physically. Specifically, the most prominent thing I remember is your speech. You had what is called both an expressive and a receptive aphasia, meaning that you had difficulty processing information coming in, but also had difficulty formulating your words. And it was actually quite amazing how far you came in the five months that you were at neurocare.
