Number Ten.
1985. Sue Baier & Mary Zimmeth Schomaker.
Wolfe Medical Publications Ltd. or CRC Press,
Inc., 2000 Corporate Blvd, N.W. Boca Raton, Florida

Sue describes the experience of being ignored
as a person (nurses and physicians would talk
to each other as though she were not present)
and of being "handled" as an inanimate
object because she was unable to move any muscles
except to blink. She was fully alert, however.
Because she was paralyzed, attendants did not
realize that her sensory system was fully intact
and that she experienced considerable discomfort
from a rough venipuncture or from lying on a wrinkled
bed sheet.
