About this product

Product Information

Henry Marsh has spent a lifetime operating on the surgical frontline. There have been exhilarating highs and devastating lows, but his love for the practice of neurosurgery has never wavered. Prompted by his retirement from his full-time job in the NHS, and through his continuing work in Nepal and Ukraine, Henry has been forced to reflect more deeply about what forty years spent handling the human brain has taught him. Moving between encounters with patients in his London hospital, to those he treats in the more extreme circumstances of his work abroad, Henry faces up to the overwhelming burden of responsibility that can come with trying to reduce human suffering. Unearthing memories of his early days as a medical student, and the experiences that shaped him as a young surgeon, he explores the difficulties of a profession that deals in probabilities rather than certainties, and where the consequences of your decisions alter not just the life of a patient but also of those around them. The overpowering human urge to prolong life can often come at a great cost to those who are living it, and to those who love them. In this searing, provocative and deeply personal memoir, the bestselling author of DO NO HARM finds new purpose in his own life as he approaches the end of his professional career and a fresh understanding of what matters to us all in the end.

Good but not as good
Like most sequels it fails to equal the quality of the first (Do No Harm). The life and (mainly) death issues are compelling in a morbid kind of way so you become drawn into them. His writing style is good but his ego is overpowering at times and I suspect his empathy is also partly reserved for himself. I would recommend this book to some of my friends, but doubt it would appeal to all.

Admissions of Failure
This is a compelling book about the NHS written by a surgeon with many years experience. In the end he was so frustrated by the bureaucracy he walked away. I bought it as a present for a friend who did likewise. It is a ripping good yarn and should be required reading for all health service managers. It would teach them far more than all their team-building away days!
