The Pounding Heartbeat of Oliver Sacks

The whole-wide world lost a great friend, Oliver Sacks. The "Poet Laureate of Medicine."

If you're judged by leaving the world a better place because you were in it; Oliver is the poster child.

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Awakenings and The Mind's Eye may have been chock-full of medical facts, but they were just snapshots of Oliver Sacks' heart -- all poetic studies of human suffering and what gives life meaning.

An atheist, he found never-ending delight and spirituality in the art, mystery and extraordinary of science.

I'd bet he wasn't planning on visiting the Pearly Gates -- but he sure knew a thing or two about what mortality means.

Jimmy Dunne
