Do you read/use neurology textbooks?
🥸I am bit old-fashioned: I do love reading textbooks!
🧠Still have a role: providing a map 🗺️of a vast discipline
🦖Large 📚 are like dinosaurs – they collapse under their weight
-I value neurology 📚 that have practical neuro knowledge, “neurology in-use”

⚡️🧠🗺️I have said this before:
The book by @AaronLBerkowitz is wonderful and my personal favorite!
➡️In just 336 p. it distills the "real neurology" being practiced
➡️If you read just 1 neurology book, it should be this.

I am looking forward to hear other people’s thoughts and suggestions about neurology textbooks!! 🧠📕📚🚨🦖 🗺️ ⚡️☄️
A neurologist is around 25% a psychiatrist💥- although we don’t get enough (or the right) training. “The Mental Status Exam Explained” is a good start on patient approach at least. @PerezMGHLab I am curious if you have any recommendations?
