Montaigne is another literary figure who had a significant head injury when he was knocked off his horse (in his 30s, I think). According to one biographer, it played an important role in the development of his philosophical worldview. '"I still feel the effect of the shock of that collision," [Montaigne] wrote, at least three years later.'
Also, if I recall correctly, Montaigne didn't think much of medical doctors.
