Undetected Cotards Syndrome
She knew she was dead
so she did not answer the doctor
or the nurse
or the orderly
or anyone else
why don’t they leave a corpse alone? She thought
They might have guessed she had Cotard’s Syndrome
if she had answered them,
but then again, maybe not.
There are only two hundred known cases worldwide.
Shut up! I am dead, she angrily thought.
By not speaking she became one of the thousands of other cases
of people who suffer from Cotard’s Syndrome.
Her caregivers are nowhere close to guessing this though.
