I can’t imagine how her parents must have felt having their daughter be unable to make new memories with them while also suffering from seizures. Bless them.
1: Sounds vaguely familiar to "50 first dates" 2: I am so happy that she got the help that she needed. I hope she's happy and becomes the nurse or doctor she wants to be
Crowd surfing isn't illegal. It has been done at concerts for over half a century. The person probably wasn't even identified. In a large crowd with multiple people crowd surfing, it would be hard to prove who did it. Even if they could, it could have been a 14/15 year old. Teens don't have money. If it had been a band member that leaped into the crowd, that would be different. Then a lawsuit would be more plausible.
@@k.elysium6819I think the person is talking about a lawsuit with the hospital sending home a patient that is not "fine" most likely the hospital just wanted her out to make room for someone else.
@@k.elysium6819Maybe they were talking about a lawsuit against the hospital saying she's fine? If that's what they're talking about, I'll say what I think. From what the short says, the doctors said she was fine, and there are many instances where doctors dismiss a patient, saying they're fine when they obviously are not... However, in this case, I feel like it wasn't easy to tell that she wasn't fine. They let her go, as she probably didn't show any signs of constant memory loss.
I'm glad someone else said this I was scrolling through the comments and I was like seriously like I'm glad this girl is getting the help she needs but why in the world would you pick nursing where you have to be responsible for so many important health issues for other people when you have issues with memory I'm sorry it just doesn't make any sense to me
OH MY GOSH! I was also treated at Cognitive FX after a concussion. I had so much pain, migraines, I couldn't read, couldn't focus and had basically lost any quality of life. Cognitive FX gave me my like back and I'm so glad they gave this girl back her life too.
Createrz aside from the seizures that seems really fun since i could just keep rewatching the same great movie for the first time over and over again 🤯 🤯 🤯 heaven!!!
So... Airhog Day "Where being an airhead can cost you your time"! I joke of course, but both concepts sound like hell. But this must be awful to feel like you're reliving the same day over and over while everyone else is telling you it's a different day. And then you just forget it all the next morning.
Watch 50 First Dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. It's literally the plot of the movie, the girl memory only last one day after a crash and she wake up in what she thingking the same day all over again. Everyone around her playing like it's the same day to protect her and Adam Sandler character a playboy who doesn't know try to pick her up everyday with new pick up lines.
Yes she definitely doesn't need to be a nurse if you forget everything or have the potential to have seizures and forget important information. Sounds like a walking liability nightmare lmao lol
Exactly the same thing happened to me in 2004. I fell down the stairs and knocked myself out. I was discharged from hospital and three days later a friend called to see why I wasn't at work. For me it was 19 September 2004 for a few weeks. I didn't have seizures and gradually my ability to make new memories returned. I only know the start of the story through friends who told me about it months later.
Don't worry, a condition like this is obviously petty rare. Much more common to suffer major personality changes after a head injury like that. There's a theory that those prone to atypical violence (serial killers, active shooters etc) are more likely to have suffered childhood brain injuries, but that's a hard one to research. Also, your comment reads like a grammatical hate crime. Commas could change your life.
Riley's story reminds me alot of HM (he helped understand memory formation alot). In HM's case, he had a severe case of epilepsy and underwent an experimental surgery to remove few parts that were seizing up. Unfortunately those ended up, being connected to memory formation & much like riley, caused him to forget anything beyond 10mins. Yet HM's task/factual knowledge was ok till his surgery so in the end, HM pretty much spent his days between hospitals and nursing home. However his visits to hospital weren't in vain as pretty sure that Cognitive FX's scans and therapy use parts of the knowledge HM contributed to research and helped neurology/neuroscience tremendously. Irrespectively, hats off to Riley, her parents and Cognitive FX for their hardwork and I really hope Riley achieves her dreams. ❤
This was on a show called strange but true I think. They removed his Hippocampus because they thought that’s what was causing his seizures. Crazy story
I’m glad she is pursuing her dreams but I do hope she goes for something reasonable in the nursing field like helping others similar to her with physical and mental tasks, because forgetting your memories and random seizures are not the best combo for anything medical related.
I thought the same thing. She could do something repetitive like phlebotomy. It's a fairly easy thing for anyone to learn and doesn't take excessive knowledge.
damn, that must suck. Not being able to make new memories and having them basically factory reset and seizures, must be a tough life. Hope she gets better as time goes on. Good luck in nursing school!

There's nothing stopping nurses with memory issues from working, There's such thing as reasonable accommodation. Notepads, additional support from other employees, etcetera.
@xanthemothcat I was bouta have a reply but then I realized this is America, they 1 nurse to 1 patient or at most 3 only lol, because if this was my country yeah, you can't have someone "shadow" you considering how 1 nurse already handles 15 and up patients at a time and you could kiss your license good by in just a single misstep
That definitely sounds like people just skipping steps or even trying to shrug the patient off to just lazily clear the beds in other words malpractice miscommunication, something that leads up to malpractice in the end. Sadly, a lot of cases happen where malpractice happens and patients and their family have no clue. thankfully, this family got help that they really needed in the young persons near future. Good to know that they are doing well.
Yup, one happened in India and patient got awarded a decent amount in damages but it won't be worth much as patient's wife/family spent 2k less of that amount already on his care. Also he has life long disability on left side due to paralysis and being a doctor himself, I can understand how pissed he is at the cardiac surgery and hospital where he went for a health scare and ended up in coma and paralysis coz some docs didn't acknowledge his case history and pre-existing conditions.
It's common for doctors to not be able to identify any problem even if there is a problem, so after doing everything they can, they discharge you. No steps need to be skipped for this kind situation. It is what it is.
I don't think that's what happened here. Considering many doctors couldn't diagnose or help her even after the memory problem and seizures happened, it sound like she did pass the MRI test, and whatever proper medical procedures for someone who hit their head.
@@Sr.Hamsalot She got hit in the head enough to wipe two hours of her memory. Clearly there’d be physical damage to the brain. But I searched up more about it, and supposedly the Doctors’ failure was merely because some tests that they use to diagnose TBI fail for some reason. So it goes undetected.
No signs of damage. They won't get into trouble for failing to identify any issue with a patient. The doctors and the technology they had at hand couldn't identify anything. So they discharged her. That's very common.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Oh, that a temporal lobe issue. But it seems it wasn't completely damaged (if both lobes are damaged, you are toast and stuck in the same day and time forever). I'm glad she is doing fine. I do hope if she gets into a hospital, they help her a bit because forgetting things while taking care of sick people might have serious consequences.
I remember this story. It's only a small update to where it left off years ago. I'd forgotten about this one. Happy for her, I know at the time it was touch and go
Man "Luck" is so wild. I have fallen down the stairs and slammed my head on the floor sooooo many times, which has to be harder than this kick. And I'm fine. Well. "Fine". Lol.
Yeah seizures and sort of memory loss/issue typically go hand in hand but I'm glad she's doing better. Seizures are nothing to play with; they're like heart attacks and/or strokes. If you suffer one, then the likelihood of another is very high in the future, without medication/medical intervention.
As terrible as that is... Theres a guy who has a 7 second memory due to an illness. Lived 30 years with it so far, incurable... His name is Clive Wearing.
