The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat: And Other Clinical Tales by Oliver Sacks
3.0
An easy read despite the medical jargon. Far from my favorite book but it intrigued me to add more neurology/psychology books to my list.
Each chapter introduces a new patient to the reader and how the doctor gets to, or attempts to get to, the bottom of their ailment(s). These types of books should pique the interest of just about anyone as we are all humans and should try to understand all the perplexities of the brains we have. One small thing can trigger a huge problem and these neurologists must detect what the root is to help their patients.
Some of the clients/patients made me sympathetic to their condition because of the way the writer presented the case. I recommend this to anyone with an interest in brain conditions and how they can be handled by a doctor—written in a narrative form.
