The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
by Oliver Sacks
Book 6 of 2019. This one has been read in snippets across weeks of tube journeys, but it made me actively look forward to those journeys. It's one of those books that most wannabe doctors seem to read in the run up to their medical school interviews, but this is the first time I've read it.
It's a truly remarkable book. The mix of neurology, philosophy, and psychiatry is fascinating, and the way Sacks writes is so beautiful. Some of the language used definitely isn't politically correct today, but ignoring that, his dedication to his patients and to the study of neurology is clear and inspiring.
I loved it. I would recommend whether or not you're a physician (although if you are and didn't read it in the run up to your interviews ... read it now!) 5 / 5 #book6of14 #2019readingchallenge
