5/24/2023 0 Comments Oliver sacks music![]() Oliver Sacks: Tony was a surgeon in his early 40's, very robust and athletic and extroverted, with very little interest in music and one day, this was in 1993, he was on the phone, it was an outside phone, a storm approached, a bolt of lightning flew out from the phone, hit him in the face, gave him a cardiac arrest and along with this an out-of-body experience. Sacks told Steve Paulson about one of the patients in his new book. He's done it again in his latest book called “Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain”. For over 30 years, in books like “Awakenings”, “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat”, “Seeing Voices” and “An Anthropologist on Mars”, Oliver Sacks has found ways to touch the lives of people with disorders from Parkinson’s disease to autism and then he's told their stories in ways that touch our lives too. ![]() ![]() Jim Fleming: They don't award a Nobel Prize for compassion but in the case of Oliver Sacks, maybe they should. ![]()
