Context
Jim is a busy, young businessman but he has a big problem: he has completely lost his memory. He relied on his electronic organizer to remember every detail of his life but now that it has died, he can't remember anything. He has come to the hospital in desperation, as he cannot even remember his own name. However, Jim finds himself caught up in hospital bureaucracy.

JIM Nurse! I can't wait all day. I have appointments to keep!
NURSE Maybe you should come back later.
JIM I would, if I could. But that's my problem. I can't remember what my appointments are.
NURSE Why not?
JIM I lost my memory!
NURSE Oh.
(hands him sheet of paper)
First, you have to fill this out.
JIM (looks it over)
Wow, I'm really in trouble.
NURSE What's the problem?
JIM You want to know my name, my address, my phone number! How can I tell you things like that when I lost my memory?
NURSE I'm sorry, sir. Everyone has to fill one of these out. If you can't do it yourself, you'll have to have a family member or friend do it.
JIM But, nurse, if I could remember who my family and friends are, I'd still have my memory.
NURSE I'm sorry, sir. Rules are rules.
