'Tubridy's compassionate, no-nonsense approach makes him a comforting
guide through the landscape of neurological medicine' Irish Times
__________***
As a medical student Niall Tubridy fell in love with neurology.
Figuring out how the brain and nervous system signal problems was a form
of high stakes detective work and answers could be life-changing.
Just One More Question is the story of Niall Tubridy's career in
neurology. He shares the stories of encounters that are, by turn,
poignant, dramatic and funny, such as...
- The chef who goes for his usual morning walk, and loses his memory
for the next six hours
*
- The painter who believes her left hand is her guardian angel*
- The eager young lover whose head 'explodes' every time he orgasms
Using simple and illuminating language Tubridy also explains well-known
conditions like multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease and Parkinson's
and and brings us into the examining room as he accompanies patients
with these diagnoses on their challenging path.
In addition, he reflects candidly on the reasons he, a doctor's son,
went into medicine, how he has been tested, and what he has learned
about people - and about himself - along the way.
Revealing, gripping and moving, Just One More Question will make you
think in a new way about the human brain - and about what it's like to
be a doctor.
