\nOliver Sacks, el renombrado neur\u00f3logo y escritor brit\u00e1nico, muri\u00f3 el
\ndomingo en su casa de Nueva York. Sacks ten\u00eda 82 a\u00f1os.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nEn uno de sus primeros ensayos personales, \u201cBeb\u00e9s de agua<\/i><\/b>\u201c sobre su larga
\nrelaci\u00f3n con la nataci\u00f3n, el m\u00e9dico dec\u00eda hallar en el agua la libertad de
\n\u00abun nuevo ser, un nuevo modo de ser\u00bb y contaba c\u00f3mo su padre, quien
\nsiguiendo una prescripci\u00f3n talm\u00fadica le ense\u00f1\u00f3 a nadar, estuvo en forma y
\nnadando hasta pasados los noventa a\u00f1os de edad. \u00abOjal\u00e1 pueda hacer como
\n\u00e9l y nadar hasta mi muerte\u00bb<\/b> conclu\u00eda Sacks. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHace apenas un mes, tambi\u00e9n en las p\u00e1ginas del New
\nYork Times<\/i>, confirmaba la consecuci\u00f3n de aquel deseo. \u00abContin\u00fao
\nnadando cada d\u00eda, pero m\u00e1s lentamente ahora, pues empiezo a sentir c\u00f3mo me
\nfalta el aire\u00bb. El neur\u00f3logo continuaba: \u00abpod\u00eda negarlo antes, pero ahora
\ns\u00e9 que estoy enfermo<\/b>. El siete de julio, un TAC confirm\u00f3 que la met\u00e1stasis
\nno s\u00f3lo hab\u00eda recuperado su lugar en mi h\u00edgado sino que se hab\u00eda extendido m\u00e1s
\nall\u00e1 de \u00e9ste\u00bb. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSacks fue el menor de cuatro hermanos en una familia
\njud\u00eda ortodoxa de Londres en el seno de la cual absorbi\u00f3 el amor por la
\ncultura, el conocimiento y, tambi\u00e9n, la medicina. Su padre era m\u00e9dico. Su
\nmadre, una de las primeras mujeres cirujanas de Inglaterra. Sacks vivi\u00f3 la
\nSegunda Guerra Mundial lejos de Londres, en un internado ajeno a los bombardeos
\nnazis.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSacks se gradu\u00f3 como m\u00e9dico en Oxford en 1958<\/b>.
\nLuego dej\u00f3 su pa\u00eds natal para visitar Canad\u00e1 e instalarse, finalmente, en
\nEstados Unidos. Una tierra en la que encontrar\u00eda los pacientes y las historias
\nque su pluma transformar\u00eda en algunos de los relatos m\u00e1s memorables de la
\nhistoria de la medicina. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nAunque a Sacks se le relacionar\u00e1 siempre con Nueva
\nYork y, en concreto, con el Albert Einstein College of Medicine, donde pas\u00f3 45
\na\u00f1os, la aventura norteamericana del neur\u00f3logo empez\u00f3 en la Costa Oeste.
\nPrimero su residencia en neurolog\u00eda en el hospital Monte Si\u00f3n de San Francisco
\ny luego en la Universidad de California en Los Angeles. Como escribi\u00f3 \u00e9l mismo
\nen el New Yorker<\/i> hace m\u00e1s de dos d\u00e9cadas, \u00abla vida del neur\u00f3logo no
\nes sistem\u00e1tica, como la de un cient\u00edfico, sino que le provee con situaciones
\nnovedosas e imprevistas que pueden convertirse en ventanas, agujeros por los
\nque espiar la complejidad de la naturaleza\u00bb. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nYa en Nueva York, Sacks trat\u00f3 en el Hospital Beth
\nAbraham a pacientes con encefalitis let\u00e1rgica. Al administrarles la, por
\nentonces, novedosa L-Dopa algunos de \u00e9stos despertaron. Este episodio se
\ntransformar\u00eda despu\u00e9s en Despertares<\/i>, un libro que, con Robin Williams
\nenfundado en la bata blanca, saltar\u00eda a la gran pantalla, otorgando fama y
\nreconocimiento tan global como inc\u00f3modo al neur\u00f3logo, como confes\u00f3 a este
\nperi\u00f3dico el colega y tambi\u00e9n doctor del Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Mark Mehler<\/a>. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nSu trabajo cl\u00ednico nunca ces\u00f3.<\/b> De hecho, fue la fuente de la que este ‘poeta de la medicina’ como ha sido
\nllamado en m\u00e1s de una ocasi\u00f3n bebi\u00f3 para luego, gracias a su inmensa delicadeza
\ny estilo, transformarla en una forma de introspecci\u00f3n universal, en un m\u00e9todo
\npara interrogar la ordinaria existencia humana a trav\u00e9s del drama vital de los
\ncerebros que no lo eran.\u00bb. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
