Exposure to carbon monoxide can damage the nervous system. Sometimes that damage disrupts
speech, and sometimes it does not. And, when it does, not all of what one hears may
have an organic basis. Coming to grips with altered speech can alter people in different
ways-consciously and unconsciously. Finding out what is real and what is not is a
good reason for getting up in the morning. It's my job. I'm a speech pathologist.
