Toscanini's Fumble and Other Tales of Clinical… par Harold L. Klawans M.D.
A re-read of an interesting medical study of neurological conditions, written in a easy to understand style for the general reader.
Technically, this is a reread because I read this book years ago. More years than I care to remember. It was a life-changer then. One chapter referred to a condition I'd experienced. Another enabled the diagnosis of a rare condition from which my father-in-law was suffering. The rest were just plain fascinating.
I'd borrowed the book from the library, but was sufficiently impressed to have amazon track down an out of print copy for me.
It was this copy that I've just read again. This time I was prompted by a friend with mysterious symptoms. Would the answer lie in these amazing tales of Clinical Neurology? Sadly, no. I'll reread the sequel 'Newton's Madness' in hopes that some light may yet be shed. Meantime, I've revisited some wonderfully described case histories that are potential fodder for my writings, and even if not used have been just as interesting second time around.… (plus d'informations)

Another re-read since I read this years ago. I remembered some of the case histories, but not all. They were all interesting to revisit. Klawans was a gifted diagnostician and he is obviously passionate about both his craft and his patients. Whether you have a neurological problem, or a family member with one, or are just an interested bystander, if you're interested in the brain and its functions, this will fascinate you.
A pretty good medical mystery.
Noted during my 1980's attempt to read every book in my small town library.
