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.
##Extreeemely well written. Objective, brutally honest, cynical yet full of empathy. 脑科医生故事集,作者一个牛津PPE posh boy,20几岁弃笔从医。
评分##长年面对死与生的脑外科医生的笔记和内心独白,故事讲得精彩,同时也带出了发人深省的制度、道德甚至是哲学问题,好看
评分##作者居然参与了Holby City的撰写????????/读后感:除了乌克兰那段特别cherry on the cake,后半部分实在是太长太draining了。
评分##讲述疾病与死亡的书是那么迷人,让我重拾了当初看LGBT类作品的那种激情。可惜平权再看早已没有处理生死那样让人颤栗。让我印象最深的是作者记录母亲癌症弥留的那几天,搬回自己的家,躺在床上。他每早来看她,她便说:“活着呢”也说她很幸福。她的儿女陪在身边,好友在餐桌前聚,说着她的平生……直到最后一刻,她都未失智。作者,作为握了半生手术刀的医生,羡慕起这种的死亡。 我也羡慕。
评分##还挺好看的,不过最大的感想大概是,手术风险真是很大啊!
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。

评分##补码。 找了好久的纪录片也没看成。 医生都很会讲故事,看完了好多年,对里面提到的案例依旧记得非常清楚。
