Can a doctor check if someone has amnesia?

My friend recently ran into a wall...drunk. He seems to not remember anyone's names, but still has all of his old mannerisms. Some think he is just faking it. So, I would like to know, is there any type of test a doctor can perform to show if he really has amnesia?Can a doctor check if someone has amnesia?
i wish. i fainted about 6 months ago and hit my head so hard that i lost all memory of anything from before excluding certain skills such at writing reading and motor skills. one of the most frustrating parts is that there are no tests a doctor can perform (except i guess a lie detector test) so i cant prove that i am really not faking. please believe your friend. if he really is faking then at least you were trusting and dont feel guilty. if he is not faking and you accuse him so, it could drive him into self doubt and even depression. hope this helps.Can a doctor check if someone has amnesia?
He could have sustained a concussion which is a bruise to the brain and this can affect his memory. As it heals, all of these symptoms should go away - usually within 24-48 hours of the injury. In order to test for amnesia, someone close to him (his mother or father) would have to be present to confirm whether his answers were correct or not and this could be done by his family physician.
