The doctor nodded awkwardly. "Sorry about that," he apologized.
"Here's what will happen," the doctor then began to explain. "Since her blindness is temporary, she will be able to regain her sight with our treatment. As long as Mrs. Lucas cooperates well, we can cure her in about a month. The most important issue we're facing now is that Mrs. Lucas seems to be suffering from post-traumatic amnesia, commonly known as selective memory loss. We can't say for sure which periods of time that she has lost, so we need all of you to talk to her as much as possible to stimulate her brain. This might bring her memories back."
Contrary to blindness, amnesia seemed to be much more acceptable.
The loss of memories wasn't necessarily as important compared to blindness. After all, some tragic memories were better off erased than left to haunt that person forever.
