As a patient, she had the most profound impairment of perception (\"The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat Part 1, Chapter 5: Hands Summary & Analysis from LitCharts | The creators of SparkNotes\", 2018). Madeline could not identify the movements of her hands, they were inactive. Sacks describes an elderly woman named Madeline a congenitally blind woman with cerebral palsy.
Similarly, Madeline’s story ‘Hands” is another case about neurological affiliations. The patient seems to be normal physically although he was almost hallucinating about his leg (\"04: The Man Who Fell Out of Bed - Neurobiology Readings\", 2018). More precisely he believed that the nurse has put an imposter leg on his body, then he tried to remove the leg from his body. The next story concerns a man that he was admitted to the hospital for exhibiting signs of weakness to his left leg, but the symptoms grew to a more serious neurological disorder namely parietal ataxic hemiparesis (\"04: The Man Who Fell Out of Bed - Neurobiology Readings\", 2018). Sacks realized that she had lost all proprioception- she had no sense of familiarity with her body, she had to re-learn all the basics behaviors (\"The Disembodied Lady\", 2018). Although she could use her vision to create movement but even then, the moves were awkward. Based on the book, Christina suddenly was unable to move, sat or speak. Sacks describes a story about a young -27-year-old- athletic woman named Christina. In the following way Sacks describes ‘The Disembodied Lady’.
Sacks diagnosed Jimmie with Korsakov’s Syndrome. Sacks wrote, “He is a man without a past (or future), stuck in a constantly changing, meaningless moment” (Sacks, 1985). The story of Jimmie G describes a 49 years old mariner who is incapable to store short term memory (anterograde amnesia) and has no ability to transform them into long term memories (retrograde amnesia) (Rogers, 2018). It is probably just a coincidence that the next case in the chapter presents a problem which is located also in the right hemisphere. Prosopagnosia is included as a parameter in visual agnosia, - the inability to recognize familiar faces/objects and specific forms - a rare form of face blindness that as the title of this book suggests, he is even capable of mistaking his wife’s head for a hat (\"Oliver Sacks- The case of Dr. is a patient whose appears to be suffering from a rare disorder called prosopagnosia. P’s case study or to ‘The man who mistook his wife for a hat” (Guides & Hat, 2018). The chapter of “Losses” is opened by the author with his titling story, the reader is introduced to Dr.
