Hi Tipsters:
There's a new documentary out - unknown white male - in which a man turns
up on a NY subway with such severe retrograde amnesia he no longer knows who he
is.
My BS detector has been triggered, because my understanding of scientific
(as opposed to dopey soap opera) explanations of amnesia is that one would have
to have massive cortical damage (not a "bump on the head" as mentioned in the
review of the movie) and be disabled a la Clive Waring in order to lose one's
sense of identity.
Can anyone speak to this - I would like to be prepared, I may not have a
chance to go see this movie before the questions from students begin.
It doesn't sound plausible at all and I am suspicious given that the
subject of the documentary and the producer are also friends.
