Are any of our medically-trained members familiar with the usual effects on a person's brain after such an experience? Three things to consider: I must have been no more than ten years old (probably closer to eight years), the lights were out for at least half an hour (possibly longer), and my memory isn't exactly what it should be. FREX, I have worked for about 15 companies over the last 13.5 years, but if I would meet any of my former colleagues, I would almost certainly not remember his/her name. Worse yet, there are a handful of people I work with four days a week, but when I need to mention one of them in a conversation with someone else, I sometimes just can't rembember that person's name. A few weeks ago I needed to mention to someone the last name of one of my colleagues whose desk is backed against mine, and I had to look up that person's last name in the phone list because I couldn't remember...
I'm not medically trained, but I have a sister who's a nurse... :-)
Have you ever considered the possibility you might have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or a learning disorder?
The following two articles are mainly about children, but I'm sure you'll be able to find many related links.

Excerpt:
Approximately 6 percent of all people age 7 and
older have ADHD. Learning disabilities are even
more common, affecting nearly 15 percent of the
population. Most children with learning disabilities
have some type of memory deficit. Memory is not
typically related to overall intelligence in
children with learning disabilities.I hope this helps.
