(ireland) Neil Tubridy
In the book, the author tells the interesting stories and life insights he has experienced in the field of neurology for many years, and shares with readers some cases that are either bitter, dramatic or bizarre: a chef who goes out for a walk every morning and suddenly loses six hours of memory; a young painter who believes that his left hand is his "guardian angel"; an old man who lives alone sees Santa Claus flying a helicopter in his bedroom; an easy-going, young and vigorous painter A football player becomes irritable and always gets into fights because he feels he is being persecuted; a carpenter stumbles out of his car only to be diagnosed with a severe neurological disease; Tubridy explains in simple and enlightening terms well-known diseases such as multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease and Parkinson's disease, and takes us into the examination room to accompany his patients on the challenging road to receiving these diagnoses. In addition, he also frankly explained his medical career: as the son of a doctor, why he wanted to practice medicine; how he diagnosed patients; when faced with bad news, how he told his patients bad news; as a doctor, how his life was affected and how it changed. In this thought-provoking, gripping, and moving book, you'll learn about the human brain in a whole new way and see life, death, and your own life from a different perspective.
