2With the advancement of genetics, bioscience, imaging, and attempts to understand consciousness, the field of cerebral science has exploded-and David D. Weisher, M.D., has been honored to be part of the revolution. As Sir Arthur Conon Doyle's Sherlock Holmes solved mysteries, neurologists solve medical problems by examining the patient's history, neurological exams, lab findings, electrophysiological testing, and imaging such as MRIs and CAT scans. They piece this data together to arrive at a logical conclusion. Most often, the results are correct, but if not, they are at least logical. In this book, Weisher reveals what it's like to be a neurologist on a day-to-day basis and shares eighteen fascinating and true medical cases from his career. He also highlights the brain, which contains eighty billion cells and an almost infinite number of dendrites, as the final frontier. Written as case studies, all the stories in this book are true and are set in the Virgin Islands, where the author has lived since 2003.
