Korsakovia/WMG: Difference between revisions

'''Christopher does not have Korsakoff's syndrome'''

 

 

In fact, the voice logs make no sense given the conceit - that what the player sees and hears is what a Korsakoff's patient sees and hears. If the sections where Dr Grayson reports on Christopher's progress as though to a third party or in a written medical report are real, how is the blind Christopher hearing them? The real Dr Grayson is presumably not reading out her reports in earshot of her patient. If they delusional, not only does this go against his diagnosis (he should be unable to retain details like the name of the clinic or even the name of the condition he suffers from), it contradicts his central 'delusion' - that the world has ended. Why would a paranoid delusional confabulate/hallucinate voices which tell them that their delusions are false and that they are in fact insane? Another point is that at no point is Christopher identified as an alcoholic or suffering from malnutrition, the cause of Korsakoff's.
