What Is the Difference Between Speech and Language With a Left Hemispheric Stroke?
Strokes affecting the right hemisphere are preferable because you still retain speech and language. But what you don't retain is sempathy, or the ability to understand why other people aren't happy with things that you're doing. Bizarrely, when you can't speak you are in a better position than when you can’t sort of feel feelings any more. It's like having to choose between the lesser of two evils. If i have my choice, i'll choose neither.
