Bernard M. Patten, MD’s Medical Memoir is Displayed at the LibLearnX 2023

The medical memoir “Neurology Rounds with the Maverick: Adventures with Patients from the Golden Age of Medicine” by Bernard M. Patten, M.D. was exhibited at the 2023 LibLearnX: The Library Learning Experience on January 27–30, 2023, at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, LA.

The cases discussed in “Neurology Rounds with the Maverick” are some of the most unique and intriguing in the field’s history, spanning half a century. Here, readers will find a balance of happy and sad, horrible and inspiring experiences from which to learn from the past mistakes that had been made in medicine and find a reason for optimism about its future.

One of the bizarre stories told in this book is of an adolescent girl who got pulled out of class for medical treatment due to her incessant laughter. Then there was the 14-year-old girl who faked grand mal seizures for more than a year to get away from her sexually abusive father.

Dr. Patten also shares his encounters with the artist George Rodrigue as he was suffering from memory loss and the physicist Stephen Hawking when he was considering experimental ALS treatment.
