It's great to be with you, Emily.
Like Cindy, I was a voracious reader.
I read from the time I was six almost continuously.
After avoiding a single science class or math class in college, I realized that I'd fallen in love with molecules and chemistry and biology and had to take a full two years after graduating to study organic chemistry, biochemistry.
But I had a passion for this that I did not have for any of the other humanities that I thought I might go into.
And once I'd gone into medical school, it was clear that the precision, the intersection with people's lives and their stories and diseases of the brain was a continuous fascination for me.
And it has been a really rich life as I've seen people with diseases that cause changes in behavior and cognition.
And for me, this is where I belonged.
Neurology, when I went into it, was almost a cruel specialty.
It was haughty and remote, and it was, we are smart, and we figure out this diagnosis, and then we wash our hands of the problem.
Frank was very different.
He was very democratic, utterly scorned elitism person.
love being with patients at the bedside, love figuring things out.
For me, he was just a breath of fresh air.
Not only was he the best clinician I ever met in my life, but he was also the kindest mentor I could have ever found.
His real love for people, he taught me so much in that way that I really needed to learn.
I was really the lucky one here.
I had no plans for writing a book, and Cindy dropped down in my office.
We had an immediate rapport, minus her lack of appreciation for Pynchon.
That's really been the only conflict we've ever had.
