Sacks is the man

On Treatment
Written By Liz Salmi

I just started reading The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by world-renowned neurologist and author Oliver Sacks.

If you have a brain-related malady or are just fascinated with the mind, Sacks' books are intriguing, educational, and easy to understand.
Sacks' starts this book with a quote that spoke to me. If you read this blog, it may speak to you as well.
To talk of diseases is a sort of Arabian Nights entertainment.
