Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and acclaimed author who explored some of the brain’s strangest pathways in best-selling case histories like “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat,” using his patients’ disorders as starting points for eloquent meditations on consciousness and the human condition, died on Sunday at his home in Manhattan. He was 82.

Read the book when it came out - round about 1990. If I remember right he also described a patient who would put his hat onto his spouse every time he came home.

So mistaking her for a hatstand - was full of very odd examples.
