Woman left with ten-minute memory wins £4.46m claim

I always thought stuff like this was fiction.

A WOMAN left with a ten minute memory after medical blunders has won a £4.46m payout.

Brain-damaged Cristina Malcolm, from Durham City, suffered a haemorrhage which went undetected by her GP and hospital staff, leaving her with acute shortterm memory loss.

2. My mother with Alheimer's once had a 10 minute memory

and now that has collapsed into the big NOW. She hasn't known me in years and she has been in the nursing home for 12 years. She is 80 years old and has not spent a night in the hospital since she had my brother over 50 years ago, but her mind has been long gone.
