Man that has to suck. He has kids. Imagine waking up every morning thinking you have a four year old, and walk out of the room and see him as a 14 year old. Damn.

And every 90 minutes, going through the exact same thing all over again. I can't even wrap my head around it.

Kids, brush your teeth or it will forever be July 15th, 2015.

Here we go. Anesthesia causes amnesia nutters in 3... 2... 1...

Imagine waking up thinking your 38 and then you realize you're 82.
Every 90 minutes.
The entire day.

For someone reason, I want someone to make a film out of this. No, I'm not talking about like Memento - like I want someone to seriously make a grounded biopic out of this just so it could make me super depressed and have me breakdown into a bluberring mess.

Damn, Trauma Induced Nivea Aphasia is a hell of a thing.

Isn't this called anterograde amnesia?

In case anyone's wondering, nbnt is correct; Nils is apparently making a 30 Rock reference.

Man, i've just been reading Hyperion again and totally forgot how sad the scholar's story was. sob

But would it really be like forgetting everything that happened every 90 minutes (and having someone explain it to you every 90)? I imagine it's not like a timer, where after 90 minutes everything resets... If the whole situation was explained to you when you woke up I suppose this is something you would think about on and off during the day, so let's say thinking about it at the 50th minute would mean keeping it in your mind for an extra 90? Really curious how this works...

I was wondering about this too, but I presume there would be things happening within each ~90 minutes window that would probably help you throughout the day.

Going to sleep, however, would cause everything to be reset to that day I guess.

This was a pretty good Star Trek Enterprise episode.
