1) Forgive my anatomical ignorance, but what is the distinction/difference between “the heart and the heart muscle?” What are they saying here?

2) Any thought on the blindness. Would that be unusual or common with the facts as stated?

Thanks,

Steve

And, here is Dr. Lyle’s reply:

Howdy:

This shows you how far behind they were 70 years ago. The heart muscle is the main part of the heart and the part that would be stabbed in such an injury as this. Severing of nerves—of which there are no major ones in that area—would NOT cause blindness. Either she had some other injury or the blindness could be the hysterical type. Some people under extreme stress go blind—it is all psychiatric—and is called hysterical blindness. Or in this case she could have been in shock or her blood pressure could have suddenly dropped from the heart injury and if so the low blood pressure could cause blurred and then dim vision just before losing consciousness and dying. I’d suspect this latter is what happened since she died almost immediately after her visual complaints.
