Can you Imagine yourself with a memory of 30 seconds ? stuck in the present with no past to remember and No expectation for the future. 2 days ago I watched a video about a man with the most sever case of amnesia (loss of memory). His name is Clive Wearing a talented British musician and conductor. His case was because of a brain infection (Herpes simplex encephalitis). He's not able to recognize his family members, his house, he even can't remember the flavors of food.The only person he recognizes is his wife.Whenever he sees her he believes it's the 1st time in years even though she may have just left to get something form the kitchen. Besides a memory of his wife one of the few thing that have survived is his ability to play the piano. I don't really get it why were these the only things that survived ?
It's such a sad story but It's wonderful how he reacts to his wife. Pure joy and absolute love.
If you have to choose only one person and one ability for you to remember what would it be ?! (I hate this kind of unanswerable questions)!!
What does it mean to be lost in time ?
This is a cut segment from a larger documentary on Time titled "BBC - Daytime"
Here's more details about his story by his Wife Deborah Wearing
