I get why the blurb on the front page calls him "the poet laureate of medicine". And you know what? I want to write like him! Sure his terminology is sometimes coloured by outmoded ways of neurology, but in essence, I want to write about my interests with the depth of an Oliver Sacks.

It almost makes me angry that this almost certainly is not the way to publish with the threat of an academic career in my back.
