I would echo the suggestion regarding a Neuropsychologist.
edited to add: personally, if it was my 10 year old daughter and she had memory loss as bad as you describe and she was only 4 or 5 days post concussion I wouldn't have her going to school. I'm wondering why her doctor would suggest such a thing.
btw there is a lot of info regarding amnesia following head injury online.

Yes ... DEFINITELY more than just not recognizing faces. Complete and full blown inability to know/remember people AND the events of her life. Almost no memory at all. I did find quite a bit of discussion about amnesia related to missing days and weeks ... but nothing about missing a full lifetime! On the upside, personality, problem solving, etc. are all pretty much status quo. And, I suppose, good that she ... at least ... enjoyed going to school today. Teachers and students did a great job of not overwhelming her. But ... yea ... I wonder about the recommendation to take on school this soon ... and we've been known to get some awful medical advice at our local hospital.
