Most amnesic conditions in films bear little relation to reality. Since movies both inform and reflect public opinion, doctors should be aware of the prevalent myths about amnesia. This could be invaluable when informing patients and their relatives of a diagnosis of an amnesic condition and its likely prognosis
电影中呈现的大多数失忆情况与现实关系不大。由于电影既能传播信息又能反映公众舆论,医生应该了解关于失忆症的普遍误解。这在告知患者及其亲属失忆症的诊断结果及其可能的预后时可能会非常有价值。
