Living with a 15-minute memory

Available for over a year

Christine Hyung-Oak Lee had a stroke at the unusually young age of 33. It happened whilst she was on holiday in California, with her then husband, Adam. On the morning of New Year's Eve 2006 she woke up with a bad headache, but thought nothing of it, until she was rushed to hospital. After her stroke Christine began taking notes of her experiences because her memory had started to wipe itself every fifteen minutes. (Picture credit: Kristyn Stroble.)
