Oliver Sacks Put Himself Into His Case Studies. What Was the Cost?
The scientist was famous for linking healing with storytelling. Sometimes that meant reshaping patients’ reality.

This is a fairly old photo of some wild weather at Elliston, on the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula.
It was exhilarating to stand in the wind and watch the waves.
