amapuche 's review for:

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales by Oliver Sacks

4.0

It is so fascinating reading about the far out cases of neurology, especially when working in the health sector. Some stories are a bit dry and too philosophical, but most are to the point and very interesting. Only thing that really irritated me was that the disabled are being referred to as 'simpletons, idiots, defectives', but maybe those were the terms when this book was published back in 1985.
