正文
今天見到一個剛從神經科輪轉過來的醫學生，講了一個病人的故事，很有意思。說是管教學的主治醫讓他們這些醫學生在一個會議室裏圍著一張大桌子坐好，然後帶進來一個女病人讓他們問診。他們跟這個病人聊了半個小時，一點也覺不出什麽異常。主治醫把病人帶走，過了十分鍾再領進來，這回就發現問題了。因為病人完全不記得剛才來過這裏，跟這些醫學生談過話。謎底揭曉，病人是大腦Wernicke區受損，短期記憶喪失，但卻記得以前的事情，不特別去檢查的話，這些經驗不足的醫學生很難發現病人的失憶問題。這個女病人不記得現在的丈夫，隻記得原來的丈夫是誰。病人的現任丈夫夠倒黴的，整天要照顧病人，病人卻不認他。後來病人的丈夫被請進來了，有人問，“你整天照顧她，她卻不認為你是他丈夫，你這日子怎麽過的？”病人的現任丈夫笑著回答：“每天都象是新婚之夜。(Well, every day is like first night)”。
聽了這個故事，想起看過的一個電影“五十個第一次約會” (50 First Dates)。講的故事幾乎是剛才這個故事的翻版。故事的女主人公是個年輕姑娘，發生車禍，出院後忘記了整個出車禍和住院的過程，天天到同一家飯店吃飯，晚上回家刷牆。事情就這麽巧，有個相當有魅力的海洋生物學家（說他是獸醫不太雅）喜歡上她了。要想發展跟她的愛情關係相當困難，因為不論他在白天做什麽讓她高興的事，送鮮花，彈琴唱歌，還是去看海豚，睡過一覺後第二天她就全忘光了，又得重新從在飯店打招呼開始重來一遍。所以才會有“五十個第一次約會”的故事。看來電影也不都是瞎編，有時還是有點依據的。

The Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome may also result from damage to the temporal lobe by an injury, a stroke, a tumor, or a brain infection (encephalitis).
In addition to confusion, symptoms of Wernicke's encephalopathy include loss of balance, drowsiness, a tendency to stagger, and eye movement problems, such as paralysis of eye movements, double vision, and a rapid movement of the eyes in one direction followed by a slower drift back to the original position (nystagmus). Memory loss is often severe initially.
