From my reading · مما قرأت لك

Books worth a neurologist’s time.

Cover of The Sleeping Beauties

The Sleeping Beauties — Suzanne O’Sullivan travels from Sweden to Kazakhstan, Nicaragua and Havana to meet communities struck by illnesses no scan can explain, and makes the case that they are real, not faked, and shaped by the world around the patient.

New article: When the medicine runs out — neurological patients in armed conflict. Epilepsy, stroke, myasthenia and MS when war breaks a health system, with a focus on Sudan.
