Hello John,
Sorry it has taken me almost two weeks to reply to your query, I have been busy working on an equally baffling query of my own. I shall explain about that later in this message, first I would like to congratulate you on your recent marriage, Susan is a fantastic woman and you are a very lucky man. None of us at the institute every thought you would actually pop the question, way to go proving us all completely wrong.
On to business. Two of my students just recently finished their thesis on Phantom Limb Syndrome which you may find of interest. I have attached it to this message.
Some of their finding have a direct correlation to the results you have been collecting in regards to the mysterious patient 'Lazura'. Although Phantom limb syndrome has only ever been linked to patients that have lost a limb they once owned, I point you in the direction of the studies done in Africa that did contain as many as 30 cases of pain in limbs that never existed, but once again they are only the standard idea of limbs.
I have located a series of interesting articles and essays that you may find of further interest, listed below are the summaries:
1. London Times, p.27 (07.02.1972) A series of experiments undertaken on birds with broken wings. One bird, a seagull, was found to experience discomfort in the area where it's left wing had been. Two pigeons freely gave their lives, almost suicidal tendencies, under the strain of pain in wings that had been amputated three days before.- there are three further experiments that yield similar results from animals that have wings, one on Penguins also has interesting information in Cambridge Journal, p.3 (22.07.1992). The attachment contains the links to all articles mentioned here.
2. New York University report, Unusual babies (11.11.2001) Reports of babies born with extra appendages collected and correlated from over three thousand hospitals for the last twenty years. The entire report contains cases that will be of great interest to you, including numerous occasions of babies born with wings. None of these babies survived beyond their first year of life. There are other such reports but this is by far the most informative and complete collection available of such occurrences.
3.University of India report, Archaeological survey 2000, Excavation of a lost city, about three miles south of the North border. Four skeletons were located in the remains of a palace, each had bones consistent with giant wings capable of flight. The report is inconclusive and the bones are still under extensive testing to validate their authenticity.
4. Scientific review Japan, Tokyo University report p.144-208 (30.12.1984), Numerous reports on supernatural findings and UFO activity. Although you may think this a bit of a side track, I believe that the report entitled 'Wing' should provide and interesting read, and potentially the most logical, if unbelievable, answer to your current patient dilemma. The section about the beings seen flying down from a sauce shaped object and then crashing into skyscrapers seems quite in line. A body was found, but has been kept in storage ever since. There are diagrams of the beings, as well as sample analysis of feathers and wing bones.
5. Toronto Institute review 1998, p.477-512 (01.01.1998), Studies of genetic mutation from radiation exposure. Reports of babies born with extra limbs, one with four legs, many with extra arms and even one with two heads. Studies of humans with extra internal organs, ranging from three livers, two hearts, extra lungs to as many as five appendixes and two brains. No reports of wings though.
I am afraid that this is the sum of my findings of interest for you. My current project has been absorbing most of my time. I was passed a paper about the biology of the lizard people by one of my students. It is a fascinating read, and contains details on the anatomy, breeding habits, life cycles and social game rules of their tribe. Although it seems almost science fiction, I myself have done an autopsy on one of these creatures and have been realigning my perceptions of reality ever since.
I shall keep you informed with my findings as well as anything of interest that arises in reference to you winged patient.
Your good friend,
Prof. Larry Lindis
