[Marsh] gives us an extraordinarily intimate, compassionate and sometimes frightening understanding of his vocation. - The New York Times\n\nWinner of the PEN Ackerley Prize\nShortlisted for both the Guardian First Book Prize and the Costa Book Award\nLonglisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction\nA Finalist for the Pol Roger Duff Cooper Prize\nA Finalist for the Wellcome Book Prize\nA Financial Times Best Book of the Year\nAn Economist Best Book of the Year\nA Washington Post Notable Book of the Year\nA New York Times Notable Book of the Year\n\nWhat 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?\n\nIn 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.\n\nIf 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.\n\nDo 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 125006581X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.125006581X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Marsh, Henry\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
