Description
Niall Tubridy's career in neurology is a story of high-stakes detective work and life-changing answers. In 'Just One More Question', he shares poignant, dramatic and funny encounters that reveal the complexities of the human brain.
From the chef who loses his memory for six hours to the painter who believes her left hand is her guardian angel, Tubridy's stories bring us into the examining room as he accompanies patients with conditions like multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease and Parkinson's on their challenging path. He also reflects candidly on why he went into medicine and what he has learned about people - and himself.
This book is a gripping and moving exploration of the human toll that illness takes, and how it can change us in profound ways. Tubridy's compassionate approach makes him a comforting guide through the landscape of neurological medicine.
