Neurology 🧠 Focused on cognitive and genetic aspects of Movement disorders| Pianist in dreams 🎹| Opinions my own| -Not all those who wander are lost-Tolkien
There was a time the earth and common sight to me did seem apparelled in celestial light, It's not now as it hath been of yore...But there's a tree, of many one, a single field which I've looked upon...Wither is fled the visionary gleam? Where is it now, the glory and the dream?
«No necesito parecerme a nadie. Nunca sentí la necesidad de encajar, y cuando por fin lo acepté, todo se volvió más fácil. Me visto como quiero, río cuando me da la gana y no pido permiso para ser quien soy».
Diane Keaton 🥀
The mind is a fugue themes return dissolve and shift keys. I follow those motifs: from neurons to memories from the clinical to the ineffable. Understanding the brain is like chasing a melody. Thoughts are just another kind of song
Still I keep listening.

The non-adversarial non- judgemental approach to neurological teaching stemming from concerns about student bullying and denigration, runs the risk of trainees falling victim later on in their careers to the dangerous Dunning -Kruger effect.

‘The most important technique for diagnosing muscle wasting is inspection. Palpation of muscles is a very minor and frequently misleading method and stroking them is a sheer waste of time’

People people
Mathematicians require proof beyond doubt
Criminal courts seek proof beyond reasonable doubt
But remember physicians are forced to come to their diagnosis only on the balance of probabilities- there is only very rarely proof beyond doubt
The condemnation of Charcot for one aspect of his multifaceted work that posterity disapproves of needs to stop. The critics behave as if medical practice, culture and ethics, do not evolve. They lack sensitivity anf choose to ignore context

MindHunter podría volver en formato de trilogía cinematográfica. Holt McCallany se reunió con David Fincher y asegura que el director y Showrunner está contento con los guiones.
Podríamos estar ante el regreso de LA MEJOR SERIE DE NETFLIX.
"Si pudiera vivir nuevamente mi vida,
en la próxima trataría de cometer más errores.
Me tomaría muy pocas cosas con seriedad.
Correría más riesgos, haría más viajes,
contemplaría más atardeceres..."
•Jorge Luis Borges
I wish there were more reviews of neurological conferences by novelists, artists, engineers, mathematicians and farmers.
This might lead to important change rather than perpetual jovial self congratulation
A scar where silence once lived. Today, I wear it with pride. Healing is not just science it’s a daily act of courage it’s choosing to begin again, every single day. Grateful to be here. Still healing. Still growing. Still alive. #CancerSurvivorsDay#StillHere#MedTwitter
In neurology and psychiatry there is direct correlation between the level of efficacy and clinical meaningfulness and serious adverse events with almost all medications we use. The most striking exception ( minimal effect and serious adverse events) is the anti-amyloid bonanza
I sometimes felt that I was performing tedious and useless tasks required by the control tower that nobody fully owns in pursuit of targets and outcomes no physician really wants
