What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How does it feel to hold someone's life in your hands, to cut into the stuff that creates thought, feeling, and reason? How do you live with the consequences of performing a potentially lifesaving operation when it all goes wrong?
In neurosurgery, more than in any other branch of medicine, the doctor's oath to "do no harm" holds a bitter irony. Operations on the brain carry grave risks. Every day, leading neurosurgeon Henry Marsh must make agonizing decisions, often in the face of great urgency and uncertainty.
If you believe that brain surgery is a precise and exquisite craft, practiced by calm and detached doctors, this gripping, brutally honest account will make you think again. With astonishing compassion and candor, Marsh reveals the fierce joy of operating, the profoundly moving triumphs, the harrowing disasters, the haunting regrets, and the moments of black humor that characterize a brain surgeon's life.
Do No Harm provides unforgettable insight into the countless human dramas that take place in a busy modern hospital. Above all, it is a lesson in the need for hope when faced with life's most difficult decisions.

作者说他牛津ppe出身突然就有那种posh eton boy stereotype了，去乌克兰那里写得很发展落后地区，浑身一种欧洲老牌绅士的感觉（但真正很renowned了之后就不令人讨厌反而很敬畏
评分##无比真挚坦诚的脑外科医生心路历程，好赞！
评分##无文学性但故事性不错;有手术细节,若有配图就更好;NHS的官僚为维护患者隐私弄得读患者CT片都很麻烦;计算机化操作程序更烦;年轻医生不愿加班,缺乏经验,新一代医生都是白痴,最后病人遭殃;作者大胆承认了自己的一些失误,这在商业医疗保险体制下不可想象;有医生朋友或同事真好,看病方便
评分##手术细节写得非常详细，什么钻开一个孔，骨头里面凹凸不平的地方锉平什么的，心理承受力不够恐怕还看不下去，但是好想翻开解剖图鉴。感谢现代医学，不然我也不可能活到现在，以及，anaesthetists这个单词真的好难读。
