Typhoid

Can you imagine? I could not remember names at the crucial moment. I could not remember the name of my room-mate when asked by somebody. Study was a pain. If you can't remember what was taught yesterday what can you do? Loss of 25% hair was tolerable. I had too thick a hair growth, the reduction made it easier to handle.

After about 30 years one doctor went through my health history. He explained it casually. My three time typhoid within a period of one year before the exams was the culprit. The memory loss was basically because of typhoid fever. Had I known at that time I would not have hated me so much.
