WASHINGTON The man, called only WO by his physicians, woke up on on March 14, 2005, at his military post in Germany. He headed to the gym, where he played a 45-minute round of volleyball, then returned to his office to answer a backlog of emails.
In the afternoon he went to his dentist for a routine root canal.
Every day since, WO wakes up thinking its the morning of March 14, 2005, believing he is still in Germany and this is the day of his dentist appointment. His life is something of a Groundhog Day in reverse.
From that moment in the dentists chair a decade ago, he hasnt been able to remember almost anything for longer than 90 minutes. Then he forgets it, a switch flips, and hes back to March 14, 2005.
The case, which WOs doctors Gerald Burgess and Bhanu Chadalavada dissect in a study published in the journal Neurocase, is indeed a medical mystery.

WO: Don't worry, I'm never getting there.
You know, I was out one night and ran into a girl (with her boyfriend aw dang it) who looked almost exactly like her. Hopefully, not with her politics.
She was pretty good in “The Island” - I was very surprised by that movie.
Feels more like 9/12/2001 where we’re trying to calculate the damage done.
I think her politics are whatever John Stewart happens to be cursing about on any given evening...
But she did tell the PLO-lovers to go blow themselves (up) when they tried to pressure her to stop promoting an Israeli-based soda-making product.
Another reason to fear going to the dentist.
True.
They ask him what time it is and he says, “Tooth hurty...”
Neurologist Oliver Sacks wrote about a similar case years ago, in which, to control epilepsy I believe, a man had surgery to disconnect the two sides of his brain. But then he entered this twilight zone life like this man has.
I wake up every morning hoping it’s January 20, 2017.
That was my first thought. ;)
They can’t handle the tooth!!
#7 Imagine the horror these two realized it was them..... Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore together forever and not some hot guy or gal they imagined.
None of you realize it, but I’ve been stuck on a loop for this day for months and months. I’ve probably written this post, or a post very much like it, hundreds of times.
And I thought the root canal I had sucked.
Novacain, gas, what? Stuff might have shut down a line going into his head...?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
I have to email that link home...:)
