Goodbye Oliver Sacks.

Sadly there's not likely to be an Awakening.

For dear old freako, this relates to the sad demise of the neurologist Oliver Sacks. He died of liver cancer.

Wrote some interesting books in particular:

"The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat"

That would have been an interesting marriage. It must have been very frustrating trying to fit her around his ears.

Would have given new meaning to the phrase muff diving!

I think the book has been now proven to be a work of complete fiction, the reality is he was a bit of a bulltulipter.

Source? Everything I can find about him suggests that he is almost universally regarded as deserving of great respect for his work as a neuroscientist. There has been some criticism of his descriptions of autistic savants, and some have questioned whether he could be said to have exploited some of his subjects with his anecdotal style. But it's hardly uncommon for academics and scientists to seek to dismiss and denigrate those whose work gains popularity with the wider population, usually in a manner which signally fails to conceal their clear envy of financial and critical success that sadly eludes their own work.

You are presenting everything that is wrong with the information age. You don't hold a tertiary qualification in any subject you are kicking off about here but you are wanting to go at this topic online considering yourself an expert.

Mathematics? Medicine? OR did you just get some third in some dodgy arts degree?

Come on then, instead of attacking Nick, how about showing us your sources for your statement.

Oh I just check Wikipedia..


"The Dog Beneath the Skin", concerning a 22-year-old medical student, "Stephen D.", who, after a night under the influence of amphetamines, cocaine, and PCP, wakes to find he has a tremendously heightened sense of smell.[1][page needed] Sacks would reveal many years later that he, in fact, was Stephen D.[7]"

So essentially he was a habitual user of psychoactive drugs and has a track record of bulltulip.

Next.
