The Terminal List · S1 E5 · Mike Tedesco

Quoted: Flowers for Algernon

Katie asks Dr. Mike Tedesco why he went after Alzheimer's, since she found no family history. His answer is Flowers for Algernon, read in undergrad, and the thought of losing yourself became a waking nightmare. Daniel Keyes' novel follows a man whose intelligence soars after an experimental surgery and then slips away. Tedesco's own experimental drug is the reason Reece can't trust his own head, so the book left an impression, just the wrong one.
