Wow…the human mind is still an utter mystery and unique marvel…it’s a wonder how it functions so reliably and so continuously for so long…an entire life in most cases. This man’s dire circumstance is the exception that proves the astonishing rule.
Norman from HP ?
Talk about scary.
His name is Jeffery Ellin. I used to work with him at the Vernon Burger King.
Jeffery Ellin? More like Jeffrey Dahmer.
This guy was identified last night and the police pulled back their release.
Jeffery Ellin, 52, formerly resided at 6 east gate drive. Pulled amnesia stunt when evicted from his home.
Funny old thing “amnesia”. You somehow forget something as fundamental as to who you are, yet you are still somehow smart enough to find the local ER where a (free) comfortable bed and meal await.
11:12 – There is no 6 East Gate Drive in Ridgewood. Do you want to clarify?
Funny what irresonsible comments are made. I do not buy he is “faking”. The man has been in the hospital since last week and doctors have diagnoised him with trasient amnesia. These are professinal doctors that have diagnoised this. So i am suppose to believe that he has succesfully fooled doctors trained in this area and has done it since last week. I am sure the hospital is looking for any excuse to discharge him due to the lack of insurance
He is either a academy level actor who by the way has expertise of transient amensia that surpases the doctors to be able to fool everyone. COME ON!!!!!

According to the Mayo Clinic, someone suffering from global transient amnesia knows who they are, as well as other things that make this story pretty iffy.
We also know him if you need help.
His wife is Paula and daughter Heather.
