It really makes me wonder how people like that function on a daily basis. Is it a new wonderland each and every morning when they wake up? Or is it just the continuation of hell in their child like mind.
Maybe it was a long time ago and for a short time only. Once I saw an orthpaedist somewhere in this city, but I couldn't say where it was. My PT, on the other hand, I remember very well because it was more recent and prolonged. Isn't the nature of the PT more important than where it was performed?

Every profession has this.
Bookstore/Library: "I need a book. It has a red cover. You must know which one I mean. It was on Oprah a few years ago!"
Computers: "My email doesn't work. I don't know why. It doesn't work. You need to fix it. Try what?! I'm not going to try something. That's your job. Fix it."
Retail: "I need to return this. I don't know where I bought it. No, I don't have a receipt. I forget when I got it. Just return it!"
etc. etc. etc.
And every profession has their version of "I swear, I didn't change anything!" (or do something different, or touch anything, etc.)

@Packer: nope.
