Is Dr. James Crawford a layman?

Dr. Crawford is a scientist with a fifty year history of biomedical research.

I did not say Dr. Crawford as a layman.

My post contained two sections. The first part mentioned the symptoms that can be recognized by the layman in simple language.

The second part described what kind of stroke, how did it manifest, and what were the consequences since he shared those experiences with me.

If you tried to make a connection between the two parts, it is like tying moTTait talai with muzhangAl.

In one sense all of us are laymen. Unless you personally experience a stroke for a second time when you can recall the first stroke incident, you are a layman even if you are a doctor. When something hits you you are in a shock even though you may have read about it when it happened to others. Suppose we have a woman who is pregnant and gives birth to a baby, the obstetrician may be helping her deliver and knows the procedures. But he does not know the actual experience of the mother. Only the mother knows.
