#1 He lay unconscious and close to death for 34 hours and spent two weeks recuperating. He was initially left partially paralysed and still has no feelings in his fingers

I read in the Independant that Mr Gordievsky believed he was poisoned with thallium..

any clues or other possible poison candidates that jump out Dr White?

#3 Ummm, I had a Stroke last year,
(Almost fully recovered, thank you)
One of the symptoms is "Numbing of the fingers" sounds NOT like poisoning, in my case the remaining effects are a semi-paralysis (Numbing) on the left little, and next to left little fingers.
Other than this numbing, there's no other damage remaining.(My doctors are astounded at my complete recovery)

#6 TV Trailer > coming movie AWAKE. Trailer seems to depict a man maliciously or criminally subjected to experimentation - he looks unconscious or "dead"? but is actually alive and cognizant of things being done to him???
