Frozen for decades in a trance-like state, these men and women were given up as hopeless until 1969, when Dr. Oliver Sacks gave them the then-new drug L-DOPA, which had an astonishing, explosive, \"awakening\" effect. Dr. Sacks recounts the moving case histories of his patients, their lives, and the extraordinary transformations which went with their reintroduction to a changed world.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Awakenings | Oliver Sacks | Paperback | 9780375704055 | Used: Very Good | Psychology 1703458","offer_id":48429805535384,"sku":"1703458","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81As1wU804L.jpg?v=1773350504","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/awakenings-2","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
