The book contains real stories of patients in the neurological department, people whose lives were forever changed by the disease. A disoriented elderly bowling club manager lost on his way home. A former professional figure skater who survived several brain hemorrhages. A student who suddenly fell into psychosis, or a young man who does not experience any emotions. Each story is a unique case, and the task of a neurologist is not just to determine why the brain suddenly began to work incorrectly, but to discern a personality behind unusual symptoms. And help a person whose consciousness wanders in a tangled maze to finally get out of it. Before you is a book about the possibilities and knowledge of modern neurology, about difficult decisions and the search for answers, about the path to the profession, about life and death.
