Description
As a sympathetic-and brilliant-brain detective, Harold Klawans treated people with a huge array of troubles, all of which boiled down to one complaint: something was wrong with their brains. From the woman suffering from “painful foot and moving toe syndrome” to the Indiana farmer who contacted a variant of mad cow disease from his herds of livestock, Klawans deduced a great deal from his patients, not only about the immediate causes of their ailments, but about the evolutionary underpinnings of their behavior. The late Harold Klawans practiced neurology in Chicago, Illinois. He is the author of Toscanini’s Fumble and Why Michael Couldn’t Hit, among other books.
