Yes, who could forget Linda telling the story of the baby that was born without a brain. It had a sucking reflex and that was about all, and yet it was still alive and breathing after birth, at least for a few days or weeks or months. She might as well have been describing herself, a mindless robot. People who go into nursing professions are not known to have much reading comprehension, at least not in my experience. Nurses are mechanical automatons for the most part even if their salaries are high because nobody else wants to do that.
