The Disembodied Woman

This is a great show based on real life British neural surgeon Dr. Oliver Sacks. Very interesting cases all based on real life cases he solved during his life time. Of course, it's modernized and Ameircanized as Dr. Sacks practiced in the 1950s and 60s in the UK, but the cases are all based on real ones. VERY intriguing. Definitely one of the better medical dramas that have been on in the last decade. No upside down CT images, no MRIs on patients wearing their jewelry, etc. They have real doctors consulting for the writers.

The casting is phenomenal. Zachary Quinto is absolutely perfect for this role. Highly recomme d this show.

There are plenty of good medical shows This one tackles only certain conditions - the mind playing tricks on the patient I'm not sure that it relies sufficiently on organic causation as does modern medicine

I found the show unsatisfying Nonetheless Zachary Quinto is superb 3 stars from me I'm sorry I wanted to like it

Quinto plays a specialist physician who deals mostly with delusions caused by (?) diseases or injuries to the brain or just plai delusion I found the various diagnoses confusing and, more to the point, uninteresting The show didn't warrant my attention Sorry I rarely give a critical review.
