Something more like "Man suffers anterograde amnesia after routine dental surgery"
- smoyer 6y ago> clickbait I considered changing the title when I submitted this but went with the HN guidelines that prefer the publisher's title. Admittedly the article's header might be a bit better than the slug in this case (but I was lazy).

- haffi112 6y agoIt's not clear that there is any causal relationship between the dentist appointment and the resulting events. Possibly this event was bound to happen and it just so happened that the subject was visiting a dentist. At least I hope people won't get even more scared of dentists after reading this... but I guess BBC succeeded in that.
