Summary
In this 30th-anniversary edition of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks, MD, brings together more than two dozen narratives of patients with many different neurological impairments. The narratives illuminate medical details of the diseases while illustrating how those diseases play out in a patient's thoughts and actions, bringing a more human aspect to the ailments.

Don't buy this. It's utter junk.

Irrelevant
Do you have any additional comments?
I have no idea why they've wasted anyone's time with this. It's just a rambling collection of "Cliff's Notes" and bullet points.
