Disorderly Movements

‘I knew her as Dr. Anne Young, Chair of the Department of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. Now I know her journey from rebel-adolescent to wife/parent and determined physician/researcher. This is an honest memoir of love and loss transformed into a life of deep meaning and legacy. This memoir would be particularly appreciated by anyone already in, or considering a future in, medicine. Yet, as my own personal neurologist, I will always consider her as Dr. Anne Young: the Queen of Neurology - and now I know why I liked her so much not only as a physician, but as a human.’ Jill Bolte Taylor, Author of My Stroke of Insight and Whole Brain Living, Time 100 Most Influential‘Dr. Anne Young is a true rock star of neurology and her amazing story is an inspiration for all seeking to overcome life’s obstacles to reach the highest pinnacles of success.
