'I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.'
- Oliver Sacks ‘My Own Life’
A prominent figure in his field and a hugely inspiring gentleman, Dr. Sacks recently wrote a short piece about his diagnosis in the New York Times. It was, true to form, an immensely insightful and beautiful piece of writing. For those of you who haven’t yet read a book by Dr. Sacks we would strongly recommend that you have a look and see for yourselves what a fantastic writer he is and how interesting he makes the topic.
