Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi whaea i oho ake i tētahi rā e whakapono ana he taiohi ia i muri i te ngaro o te mahara mo te 17 tau i te pō kotahi, e whakarite ana ki te whakamārama i tana wheako whakaharahara i roto i tētahi pukapuka hou. I te tau 2008, i oho ake a Naomi Jacobs - e 32 ona tau i taua wā - e mataku ana ki tana tama, i roto i tētahi taiao kāore e mōhiotia ana, ā, i whakaaro ia he 15 ōna tau. I te pō kotahi, kua pāngia ia e te Transient Global Amnesia, he momo ngaro mahara i puta mai i te ahotea i mukua ai te wāhanga 'whakare' o tōna mahara. E 32 nga tau o Naomi Jacobs i tana oho ake i tētahi ata i te ngaro o tōna mahara ki ngā tau 17 o tōna oranga. Ko te mea whakamutunga i maumahara ai a ia, ko te moe i roto i tana moenga papa i a ia e kōtiro ana, e moemoea ana ki tētahi tamaiti i arohaina e ia. I whakaaro ia ko 1992, ko John Major te Pirimia, ā, kei te haere ia ki te whakamātautau GCSEs. Ko ngā waea pūkoro he rahi tonu o tētahi pereki whare, he mea ngaro te ipurangi - ā, he tangata kē tōna tama 10 tau te pakeke. Engari i kii a Miss Jacobs ki te BBC i te wa i eke mai ai tana tama ki a ia e karanga ana'mama' i hinga ia ki te 'ohorere katoa'. Ka mea ia: 'Ko nga mea katoa mai i te wehi ki te koa mai i te kitenga i tenei tamaiti kaore au i te mahara ki te whanau, engari i mohio kaore he feaa ko ia taku na te mea he rite ia ki ahau, ki te wehi ki te kawenga mo tenei tamaiti iti. 'I tino whakapono ahau ka moe anō ahau i taua pō, ā, ka oho ake ahau i te tau 1992. Kāore i te tūturu ki ahau te mea i tupu.' I whakaahuatia a Miss Jacobs hei 15-tau-te pakeke i whakapono ia ko ia i te wa i ara ake ai ia i tetahi ata i te wa i patua ai ia e te amnesia i ona tau wawe i te 30. I mate a Miss Jacobs i te Transient Global Amnesia, he momo ngaro mahara i puta mai i te ahotea. E pā ana ki te rima i roto i te 100,000 tangata i Ingarangi, ka piki ki te 23 i roto i te 100,000 i roto i nga tau 50. I mua i tana whakaekenga, i āwangawanga a Miss Jacobs, o Manchester, mō tētahi pakihi homeopathy i whakahaerehia e ia. I ako ia mō tētahi tohu mātauranga hinengaro, ā, kua tata mai ōna whakamātautau whakamutunga, ā, kua wehe tata ia i te pāpā o tana tamaiti. Na te mate i whakamutu ai te wāhanga o tōna mahara, arā, kua ngaro katoa i a ia ōna āhuatanga ā-hinengaro...
