Answer 1

Elaine wakes up in the hospital with a head injury. she gets to know her doctors and nurses over time, but it soon becomes clear that she has no memories from before she woke up in the hospital. Elaine has retrograde amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is amnesia (loss of memory) that occurs after an injury, when the memory of the events and information that were learned before the injury is lost.
