Clive Wearing, Part 2b: Living Without Memory

"it was a waste of time". Taking such a boring test, would be for each of us a waste of time too.

God does his wife have to sit like that on camera, it's a good job shes got tights on or you'd see her ars. It kind'a says something about his wife. Manners please.

he has short term memory where he forgets things in 30 seconds or less, all his lonf term memory is still there so he remembers the past and people in his past

you're wrong. he doesnt have a long term memory. if he had a long term memory he would for example remeber being married to deborah, being a church musician.

NO your wrong, he doesn't have a short term memory, but remembers things before his illness, but not after.

He does not remember anything, not before or after the illness.
He knows how to play Piano because of the same reason he knows how to speak, write, eat or to button his shirt. Those things are not stored in the brain as memories. But everything related to memory, how he spend his life or what year it is, is gone.

No he doesn't remember the past. He remembers subconsciously how to speak, write, play the piano, walk, etc. but every person he meets is like he's seen them for the first time, except for his wife.

how can he still do alot of things like talk, eat, etc., and why doesnt he get scared shitless waking up to not knowing anything about anything? this must be hell

no, i'm serious, it's pretty close. obviously no where nears as complete or intense, but i forget who i am and i cant keep any one thought in my head and it feels like i imagine being dead feels like

He got his sense of humor left
93000 years old lol, he might cant remember but he can make a joke.
