View larger version (84K): [in this window] [in a new window]   J Clifford Richardson was a master clinician. He was Professor of Neurology at the University of Toronto, Canada from 1960 to 1975, and best known for his description of progressive supranuclear palsy.1 He was shy, thoughtful, and low key – until you saw him in action. A skillful interrogator and a meticulous examiner, he pursued diagnoses with relentless logic. I had my first rotation in neurology with him. My previous experience of neurology during my internal medicine training at McGill University, in Montreal, Canada, had not prepared me for the lessons I was about to learn.
