An excellent book called 'The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat' was by a doctor, describing some of the odder cases he had e.g. people who took toxic levels of vitamins and couldn't feel their body and had complete loss of proprioception (a man threw something big and hairy out of his bed: it was his own leg) or a man who was trying to put his hat on, but kept grabbing his wife's head. One man wanted to ask for umbrella, but only the word 'hat' would come out. He knew he wanted protection from the rain but his brain had hat and umbrella switched.

      @Fabian Morales Its likely his brain swelled so massively that his ocular nerves were damaged, No doctor would take a good eye or even an injured one with the chance it would still be partially functional. He had major damage to a very soft organ. That he lived that long with out care is amazing in itself. What they did do was probably a damage control operation releasing pressure by removing the skull cap at that point they would also need to regulate the pressure in his brain which is very hard balancing act of pulling water out of the body with medicines but not overloading the body with salt or reducing the blood-flow to the brain, other things can pass through the brain blood barrier in to spinal fluid as well such as sugar, again through osmosis, and too much or too less of anything will lead to lowered or no healing of the brain at all. All brain injuries are a delicate matter and yes docs make mistakes, but in this case i think it was simply a matter of to much time to allow further damage through bleeding and clotting of injured tissue.

      @Miles Doyle
      Have you beheld the darkness sitting upon the earth? Overshadowing the wind rose, lost in the smoke? Thus many went astray at once. The others wandered hazardously through endless mazes. The rays of the sun whisper of a newborn fright. And very few horrors in the world could match in terror. The cruelty of that frozen caress and its fragrant secret in blossom. Thy bend their tongues with a long drawn sigh. Licking among the vilest ordure a few drops of hopeful water. They bend their tongues for this divine balm. Remains of an aborted covenant gone astray in desert waste.
      The bleak sterility of these buds belies their fragrance. A pestilence that permeates the vastest plains with frightful odours. Among these foetid marshes wanes the echo of a promise. Hope stumbles amidst the solitary shades and lose substance. Facing the glowing darkness whilst ravens croak for doom. The other worlds on high sent us a harbinger. Ignis ardéns - He breathed on them, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. What pleasure of inconceivable purity there is in being an object of abhorrence. For the sole being to whom destiny links my life. The rupture is too profound to stand up. Nothing remains but a terrified consolation. In a laughable renunciation that is not the one of a single man.
      Thou art not dead to the devoration of sin!
      Every human being not going to the extreme limit is the servant or the enemy of man and the accomplice of a nameless obscenity.
      Let us be a blight on the orchard. On all orchards of this world. Even the least of these words will be judged during the times of reckoning, bearing. A latent damnation, a feverish seduction exasperated in death. Every letter is a code to extreme horror, utter contempt and divine conflict. It is lethal to speak the language of resistance. Every gasp exhales a particle of the remission of Golgotha. As if the blazing Logos demanded the exercise of a fragile power just above annihilation. The one of a harmony in ruins. It is a task for a man who cannot bear any longer to be. A chore for the lost in the denial of free will.
      You were seeking strength, justice, splendour! You were seeking love! Here is the pit, here is your pit! Its name is SILENCE...

      This case hits hard for me, as one time my girlfriend and I were once roofied while partying with my gfs mom and boyfriend at the time. At one point I went looking for my gf and found a vehicle in the driveway with its lights on. Upon checking, I found my gf unconscious with her own mother’s boyfriend about to take off with her in the car. He tried to claim he was planning to take her for a ride with the windows down to try to wake her up. Knowing him, I knew he was lying. Especially bc he snuck off with her and didn’t even tell anyone that’s what he was doing. So I told him I was calling the police. Upon returning to the door I see my gfs mom and began to tell her what was happening but before I could get to my point, her bf who outweighed me by at least 100 lbs, came up behind me and put me in a chokehold. I tried to struggle and fight but went unconscious. Well, apparently while I was out, the neighbors saw him attack me and they called the police. When I woke up, I was in the back of a police car with blood running down my face. I had no recollection of speaking to the police at all and my brain was hazy from being drugged, choked out, and dropped face first onto the concrete when I went unconscious. Apparently the mom’s bf told the police that I had beaten my gf and thats why he choked me out and bc she was unresponsive, and I don’t recall being questioned, despite there being no physical evidence of her being beaten, the police believed the story. When I woke up I asked the officer what I was charged with and he said I beat my gf which I knew couldn’t be true but my brain was so hazy I couldn’t comprehend what he was telling me. It wasn’t until just before we got to the jail that I started to remember what had happened (I didn’t know I had been drugged though-found that out later) and I tried pleading to the officer and telling him what happened but his response was “too late. We tried to talk to you earlier and u didn’t want to talk.” Again, I have no recollection of anything other than coming to in the back of the police car. I did end up getting the case dismissed and off my record but I never received Justice for that night.Still eats me alive to this day.

    I have read the family did file a lawsuit, but it was dismissed on a technicality. The city hired an expert witness who claimed the delay in treatment did not change the outcome of Ryan's medical condition, so the judge granted the City of Phoenix's Motion for Dismissal. The family subsequently found other "expert witnesses" (after the dismissal) who all claim that it did.
    Also other reports say that Ryan and his girlfriend Heather actually did not know Richie Carver, but that Richie Carver had lived at the property prior to Ryan and Heather. The prior gun altercation with Richie Carver was between him and a guy named Eric who was his roommate at the property. Eric had kicked Richie out and the altercation between Richie and Eric supposedly was over Richie showing up and "snooping" around the property after he was kicked out. Eric allegedly threatened Richie with a gun if he kept showing up.
    Ryan moved in replacing Richie as Eric's roommate. Ryan only met Richie Carver briefly two times, once when Richie showed up to get some mail which had not been forwarded to him and another time when Richie was found snooping around the back yard claiming to be looking for his pet iguana. Heather actually never met Richie Carver as these occurred before she moved in (so while Eric was Ryan's roommate; not certain if this was prior to or after Eric threatening Richie with the gun for lurking about the property).
    Later Eric moved out himself and Heather moved in (so Richie Carver and Ryan had both been roommates with Eric but not simultaneously; Ryan and Richie Carver were never roommates). Ryan, Heather and another young lady named Alicia then resided at the property at the time of the attack. The media however had learned Richie previously lived there and that there had been a prior altercation involving a gun and presented it as between Richie and Ryan (because they thought it explained why the crime occurred) when it actually was between Richie and Eric after Richie had been kicked out. The media's rush to get the sensational story published and to scoop other outlets caused them not to thoroughly fact check.
    Also it appears Ryan only owned one small handgun, not a collection of guns, and that it was not taken during the Carver's robbery of the residence.
    There are claims that the police "changed the date" of the attack from Christmas Day to Dec 23rd (or tried to) to cover up their medical negligence to Ryan Waller. To imply that having occurred two days earlier, by the time they took Ryan into custody, it was too late to prevent his medical outcome. Whereas if the attack occurred on Christmas Day, then taking Ryan into custody at midnight (Christmas Day/Dec 26th) and not getting him immediate medical attention clearly would affect the medical outcome to Ryan. This also played into the dismissal of the lawsuit since if the police did not discover Ryan until 2 days after the shooting that would mean the damage was already gone too far to have been prevented by medical attention. There are reports that Ryan was helping remodel a bathroom at his parents on December 23rd and Cheryl Carver's (the mother/wife of the preparators) testimony was that it occurred on Christmas Day not the 23rd. Also the doctor treating Ryan Waller at the hospital after the police finally got him medical attention said the injuries to Ryan were "fresh" and there were no signs of injuries being days old. Plus, the third roommate, Alicia, supposedly claims to have seen Ryan and Heather alive on December 24th.
    {As an aside, she was not home at the time of the attack and arrived home after midnight (so the very early AM of Dec 26th). She assumed Ryan and Heather were asleep, so she did not turn on the lights and she went straight to her room and to bed. She was awoken by the police knocking on the door and it was she who actually answered the door and let police in not Ryan. The police had previously arrived earlier, around midnight but then waited to get a warrant to enter the property when no one responded to knocks on the door. Since Alicia is not reported as seeing see police cars when she arrived home this implies that police left and later returned when she answered.}
    Also a "witness" (possibly the aforementioned Eric or Alicia) immediately told police that they should look at Richie Carver, but the witness was ignored because the police immediately decided it was domestic violence. This witness told police this while they had Ryan in custody, possibly while he was in the back of the police car.
    I did not intend this to be so long, but I discovered the other info while checking on the lawsuit before posting. Given how fascinating the case is, I thought I would share the extra information I found.

      It is not that mind boggling when you know how little training and qualification is required to make someone a police officer in the U.S. In most western countries police officers require years of training and education, but here the requirements are far less stringent and the people who become police are grievously underprepared for the highly complex job that it can be. It's maddening and heartbreaking that the prime concern of hiring police is as revenue collectors and generators rather than actual professionals who serve and protect..

Innocent until proven guilty is how our society should run, not coming to conclusions and withholding what, in this specific instance, could have been significant life-saving care that could have prevented further damage and in the end, perhaps his life would have been longer or he could have been more independent.

He couldn’t answer questions about any of his life or what’s going on but when he realized she was dead and not just sleeping, I know this is kinda cheesy, but it was like his heart told his brain to wake TF up for a second.

      Nothing you said is cheesy, I saw this interview on another channel a long time ago, and I ugly cried. Because he was so obviously lost and so obviously in need of medical attention. His brain was just compensating and rewiring itself trying to put things in place. Him saying arrows over and over. I was screaming at my screen, he’s been shot in the head! How do you not see this? Get him to a hospital!
      When they told him that Heather was dead, and not just sleeping. that right there alone should’ve told the police that something was seriously wrong with the sweet baby. I honestly don’t know how you miss a bullet wound clearly visible 2 feet away, when I immediately saw it in the video!.!. Why they don’t bother to get him any medical attention when he’s so obviously altered. Ryan never should’ve died, but I kind of get the feeling that he wouldn’t wanna be here without Heather. Makes me cry. Where I’m from it is mandatory upon a rest that everyone gets taken to the hospital prior to being interrogated, and that should be the case everywhere in every country, so no other mother has to bury her son who wasn’t guilty of anything. This whole thing just makes me ugly cry and I can’t watch it.

Also we can Monday morning quarter back all day and of course hindsight is 20/20 as they say but truly we will never know if it would have changed anything in Ryan's situation.... My friend shot herself in the head at 16, she didn't die and wound up being blind, deaf on one side and suffered from seizures...

      Unfortunately, that's how the system works. A detective makes an initial assumption about what happened, then it is their job to do whatever they can to obtain information that backs their initial assumption. A lot of people are falsely charged based on such assumptions. Authorities hate to admit when they're wrong. They tend to view everything as black and white when that often is not the case.

    Fascinating find! Ty! Sadly, I knew right away. I'm just stunned at how very specific and apparently typical the cognitive symptoms are in tbi's and brain bleeds, with the muted affect, slurred, kind of groggy speech, language processing issues, short term memory failure, etc. I've seen this very thing b4-minus the bullets- immediately following what turned out to be a fatal fall. A family member injured their left brow and same left eye as that guy, but outwardly it was just swelling a little with a small nick. Immediately following the fall their speech and cadence was exactly like that kid. I can't explain, but so many little details too, just the whole vibe was just like that guy. I also cannot believe Ryan lasted even an hour, much less DAYS without medical intervention and with that kind of severe brain injury! My family member went from behaving and sounding exactly like that guy for maybe 20 min, got nauseous and passed out. Even at one of the best hospitals,fast intervention, the injury was beyond help. With epilepsy, after an especially bad seizure I experience many similar symptoms but only for a few minutes, then it's as though your brain is slowly flicking switches back on. To me a seizure really is like shorting out, and rebooting, or when electronics getting overheated and shut down. Either way, even if you're not medical personnel, aren't epileptic, or haven't seen it B4, a terribly swollen and literally blackened eye or face, odd behavior and slurred speech should signal at least that he's possibly concussed and should b looked at by someone. Ffs. Thanks again, John!

How did it take a cop THAT LONG to realize his injuries were serious!? I noticed the hole in his nose as soon as I saw his nose clearly in the video! I was a CHILD with ZERO experience in this field and I was able to recognize this from the moment his first questions were asked.. I feel so bad that he had to go through this and I feel horrible for how his family must have felt.. Kudos to Ryan’s superhuman strength. Being able to function that well with that kind of injury is INSANELY impressive. This is a serious example of biased conclusions and police not going through with their ordered precautions(medical care and thorough investigation for everyone involved) TO EVERYONE THERE, and not just to the victim(s).
