For this guy

A man who found himself in Denver not knowing who he was or how he got here was identified Sunday after his parents saw a television report about him.

Denver police said the man who had been known only as “Al” is Jeff Ingram, 40, of Olympia, Wash.

Ingram suffers from a rare medical disorder known as dissociative fugue, police said.

I can’t imagine having such a terrible medical problem. Every other disease, at least you know how you’ve dealt with it before. I mean, what would you do if you woke up one morning, somewhere, with no idea who you are or where you’ve been? I’d be petrified. And I’m not sure I would have gone to a mental health clinic like this guy did. Very smart.

Glad to see he got his family back.
