Bleeding Brain
The red zone on the right of the CT scan shows a hemorrhage on the left side of the brain. (Note that the patient’s left is your right.) In Dr. Jill’s case, the bleeding interfered with activity in Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas, impairing her ability to produce and understand language. Her frontal lobe function also deteriorated the morning of the stroke, as illustrated by the difficulty she had in devising a coherent strategy to get medical help.
