Farewell Oliver Sacks
Neurologist
1933-2015
An author and physician in the field of neurology, Oliver Sacks (1933-2015) helped fuel debate about the essential qualities of humanity through his books, essays, and lectures. The author of such well-known works as Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Sacks used case studies from his own practice to advocate re-humanizing the medical arts. His stories of courageous patients coping with handicaps inspired popular movies, plays, and even an opera, but they spoke most eloquently on their own as a testament to the hardiness of the human spirit.
