[In Context] Being Andrew Lees

The idea of interviewing Andrew Lees, Professor of Neurology at University College London and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square (London, UK), troubles me. He is different. Physician, teacher, writer, biographer, autobiographer, renaissance man of undoubted intellectual stature; the normal approach won't do. Wikipedia can tell you all you need to know about his academic and medical achievements: about his being the most highly cited researcher in Parkinson's disease, his string of awards from learned bodies, his membership of this and that academy, his presidency of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society, his introduction of apomorphine into clinical practice, his fashioning the most widely used criteria for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
