UM-Bot Posted July 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2015 A British soldier who went to the dentist in Germany became afflicted with a strange memory condition. Known only by his first name William, the serviceman had been stationed in Germany in 2005 when, upon visiting a dentist to undergo a routine root canal, he went in to a trance-like state and had to be taken to hospital where he ended up staying for three days.

KNash Posted November 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Ok. He has anterograde amnesia which is the inability to form new memories past the a certain date (i.e. his root canal). I'm really interested in knowing if he was allergic to novacaine or possibly whatever form of anesthesia was used. Turns out that anterograde amnesia can be a complication of a benzodiazepine (tranquilizer) that is sometimes found in anesthesia. Fascinating. Never thought about this.
