- <p> You know times are tough when even a neurologist with
- popular books and a hit movie isn't recession proof. Case in
- point: Oliver Sacks, the doctor who won accolades for his book
- Awakenings, now a major film starring Robin Williams. Sacks,
- 57, is being laid off from the Bronx Psychiatric Center, where
- he has worked for 25 years. He joins hundreds of other
- employees who will be let go by New York State institutions.
- While Sacks will not be at a loss for work or money, he sees
- the layoffs as a disaster for the patients. Says he: "The cost
- in human terms will be incalculable."
