About Oliver Sacks

Oliver Sacks is a British neurologist who explores how human beings react and adapt to serious illness. He uses case histories of people with neurological and perceptual disorders to communicate his ideas in his writings. A creative medical thinker, Sacks is known for an approach to medicine that humanizes the patient and is concerned with the psychological, moral, and spiritual elements of illness and treatment.
