(18,312 posts)If this person was born blind, and never saw a thing in their life, hwo could they describe an operating table, or nurses, or doctors? They're born blind. Have no idea what an operating table *looks* like. Knows what it feels like, what it smells like But not what it looks like. Knows what a face feels like but not what it looks like. Knows what the sounds of an operating room sounds like but has no idea that the clank clank is a scalpel being handed to a doctor or a suction canister being put in a holder or a tray table being knocked against the wall.
So I'm just gonna go out and call bullshit on the claim that someone who was born blind and has lived their whole life without sight can report "to the nurses and surgeons what each one of them had been doing and saying during the resuscitation."
