We came across a short book review about “Hard Days: My Life with a Neurodegenerative Disease,” by Dr. Branko Lugovic. Dr. Lugovic, a scientist, has progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Looks like worthwhile reading.
From NN Light’s Book Heaven:
A powerful and heartfelt treatise about a rare disease that is a scourge. The author is a doctor who suffers from PSP but this is not a book about the disease. This is a book about one person living with the disease.
Brilliantly written and flows smoothly, this book could be a godsend for those who suffer from PSP. With estimates that only three to six out of every 100,000 worldwide have progressive supranuclear palsy – you might think this book has a limited reach.
What one has to bear in mind is that this book is also for every family member or friend who knows the person who has this disease. This book isn’t a how to treat it or what exactly it is. This is a book that shows a personal experience of living with this disease. This book also exemplifies that a person doesn’t have to just succumb. There can be ways a person can battle. This book could inspire people diagnosed with PSP. This book could be essential to anyone who knows a person battling PSP.
A truly excellent book that is an important work.
