Inhaltsangabe

'Tell the doctor where it hurts.' It sounds simple enough, unless the Problem affects the very organ that produces awareness and generates speech. What is it like to try to heal the Body when the mind is under attack? In this book, Dr. Allan Ropper and Brian Burrell take the Reader behind the Scenes at Harvard Medical School's neurology unit to show how a seasoned diagnostician faces down bizarre, life-altering affictions. Like Alice in Wonderland, Dr. Ropper inhabits a world where absurdities abound.
