Oliver Sacks
Neurologist & Author
Oliver Sacks was a British neurologist and writer who told the stories of patients whose conditions revealed how the brain actually works, from the man who mistook his wife for a hat to the encephalitis patients of Awakenings. He wrote about them as people rather than cases, which changed how clinical writing sounds. His late books turned to his own life, and he wrote openly about dying in his final essays.
