PALACIOS-SANCHEZ, Leonardo et al. Oliver Sacks, masterful teacher and spokesman of Neurology: A reflection. Iatreia [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.2, pp.230-237. ISSN 0121-0793. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.iatreia.v30n2a12.
As is true about many sciences, knowledge in medicine used to be kept under the utmost secrecy, private only to those few persons that devoted their lives to healing. Today, however, in the era of information, everybody knows and, more importantly, everybody wants to know about medicine. It is then when the existence of scientists willing and able to divulge technical knowledge for all people becomes crucial. For this purpose there was none other like Oliver Sacks. With his unique tell-tale writing style and his contagious smile, he was a beacon for patients and people stumbling in the dark, looking for answers, and an example for everyone in the field of neuroscience.
