Trapped

Description

Richard Greener tells the story of his heart transplant and the complications that turned him into a paranoid and suicidal quadriplegic who couldn't move a muscle, couldn't even swallow. He had violent hallucinations based on the Iraq war and the reports of terrorism and violence constantly playing on his hospital TV tuned into CNN. He believed his family to be in danger, but he had no way to communicate with them. For a long time after the whole ordeal, he had trouble knowing what had happened. What was real and what wasn't. If part of the core of who we are is our memory, what does it mean when the memory is still there, but false?
