Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery by Henry Marsh |
The occasional description of brain surgery may not be for the squeamish but this leading NHS neurosurgeon honestly describes his successes and failures with great compassion for his patients, their families and his colleagues. Another thread in the book is his critical frustration with the NHS itself as it loses itself in bureaucracy, delays and computer passwords. Some may wish to consider surgeons as 'gods' but I preferred his humanity.
