Extreme Amnesia - Less Than 30secs Memory

I have found this video named Extreme Amnesia - Less Than 30secs Memory and I thought it would be nice to share it with you. I have never saw something like this, I am working as a psychologist and I know a little bit of neurology to.. it is very strange and I believe it is really hard to love/stay with a guy like the one I am talking about (being in that condition).

Here is the description of that video:
This guy is in a perpetual state of waking. Every few seconds he thinks he is waking from a kind of coma. Every time he sees his wife he thinks it's for the first time in months, even though it could only be seconds. If only we could all treasure each other as much.

 

Ever see the movie 100 first dates?

 

a few minutes later:

This is an interesting thread. Ever see the movie 100 first dates?

 

im sure i have seen this documentary or one simaler on tv
about a guy who used to be a very good musician and somehow loses his memory every 30 sec or so but can still remember alot of things from before this started.

its kinda sad..

 

I wonder if this guy still makes additions to his long-term memory? Or would he really stay this way forever. That would really suck.

 

Certainly would make dating rather interesting.

 

is 100 first dates twice as long as 50 first dates?

 

Ya you are right, was only 50. The movie felt like 100 though, damn those romantic comedies.

 

i think i have the same problem...i keep forgetting stuff

 

that was so sad, poor guy, must be tough on his wife too.
though its nice that he can still play the piano.

 

Hey, who are you guys, I dont remember posting in this thread...

 

Yeah reminds me of "First 50 Dates" The girl would loose her memory every day when she went to sleep/woke up. Everyday he would reteach her until the end of the day.

 

you mean like mentioned in 4 or 5 of the above posts?

 

ok, which one you prefer? 50 first date or groundhog day ?

I choose groundhog day

 

that's a good question...I haven't seen GHD is forever and a day, so I'm split

 

SNL has done many skits with this premise, and they are all pretty funny.. Especially the game show one with Tom Hanks and Tony Randall.

 

Exactly!

Yeah. Ground hogs day is a classic too. I think I am going to have to go buy it. (goes to amazon).

 

I remember "Mr. Short-term Memory" from SNL with Tommy....he shouldn't have stood under that pear tree!!

 

Wasn't that "50 First Dates"?

I always wondered if this was for real... After seeing the movie that is. After watching this guy in the video, I am pretty much convinced it is bunk.

 

Ever see the movie 100 first dates?
Not me... YET!
