About this product

Product Information

'Enthralling' GUARDIAN 'Incredibly absorbing ... astonishingly candid' Bill Bryson Winner of the PEN Ackerley Prize and the South Bank Sky Arts Award for Literature Shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award; Duff Cooper Prize; Wellcome Book Prize; Guardian First Book Award; and Slightly Foxed Best First Biography Prize Longlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How does it feel to hold someone's life in your hands, to cut through the stuff that creates thought, feeling and reason? How do you live with the consequences when it all goes wrong? DO NO HARM offers an unforgettable insight into the highs and lows of a life dedicated to operating on the human brain, in all its exquisite complexity. With astonishing candour and compassion, Henry Marsh reveals the exhilarating drama of surgery, the chaos and confusion of a busy modern hospital, and above all the need for hope when faced with life's most agonising decisions.

Absorbing read
Beautifully written memoir. Always interesting, sometimes heartbreaking, often amusing. Easy to read despite the author appearing to regard us as equals in his rarified world of brain surgery. Finished the book quickly, feeling not only that I had been entertained, but that I knew a little more about the wonders of the brain, the fortitude of those whose brains have been damaged, and the skill, courage and frailties of the surgeons whose work is to repair this damage.Beautifully written memoir.

Wonderful
Sometimes with a “medical” book one finds an all too deliberate attempt at humour or a trivialisation of issues. Not here. This is from the heart, an open and truthful book - filled with triumph and tragedy. Sometimes an author gives you a flavour of themselves through their writing, this book makes you feel like inviting Mr Marsh to dinner.

An unmissable book.
Compelling, candid, fascinating. This autobiography is a real page turner and well worth a read, and I am not normally a biography fan.

Great choice of a title, is not just about surgical skills and courage, the assessment is as important!
Beautifully written by a professional who does not see just a medical case, but sees the patient as a person, is aware of the impact on the family and more to the point Dr Henry Marsh does not fear of making himself vulnerable by revealing his own feelings. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, it put me in touch with my own experience of working as a young medical doctor of some decades ago. I look forward to reading his other book ' The Admission's.Beautifully written by a professional who does not see just a medical case, but sees the patient as a person, is aware of the impact on the family and more to the point Dr Henry Marsh does not fear of making himself vulnerable by revealing his own feelings.

A warts and all account of life and death brain surgery. He is a bit pompous which he accounts to his upbringing but it is a surprisingly good read which I found hard to put down. Marsh is very critical of the NAS and longs for former times when he had more clinical freedom. There seems a disproportionate number of failures in the account, or perhaps I am wrong and your chances of survival are pretty small. I will read the follow up Admissions.A warts and all account of life and death brain surgery.
