In memory of well-known neurologist and author Oliver Sacks, MD, who died yesterday: A look back at a lengthy conversation he had with us in 2012. For this 1:2:1 podcast, Paul Costello, chief communication officer for the medical school, spoke with Sacks about the discoveries Sacks made while writing his book The Mind's Eye, and how Sacks was grappling with his ocular cancer.
My favorite part, as excerpted in an issue of Stanford Medicine magazine, was a quote of hope from Sacks: "I will say to patients, “I’m not sure that I can cure you or I can help this directly. But let’s think about other ways of living, other ways of doing things, and think positive.”
