Suzanne O'Sullivan is a famous American neurologist, author of several popular science books, and a continuation of the tradition of clinical stories by Oliver Sachs. Each of you probably blushed with shame more than once, got cold with horror and felt that your heart was about to jump out of your chest with excitement.
