The Unexpected Sojourn

I spent a little time in Box Hill Hospital following an episode of Transient Global Amnesia which, interestingly is neither global nor amnesia.  You seem to lose memory of some details of the past hour or two.  Apparently gentlemen of a certain age seem to get the condition on a random basis.  As there are no negative effects there has been no real research on the condition so I did not get a lot of information about it.
The treatment at Box Hill was exemplary but it essentially consisted of checking that nothing else was wrong.
One aspect of the treatment appeared to have a heavy emphasis on Aversion Therapy.  The evening meal was presented and it would struggle to make half a star.  The rice was as dry as breadcrumbs and the spinach was like cleanings from the lawn mower.  It was not an experience you would be eager to repeat.
