This book, which started life as a diary, is a candid account of how Henry Marsh, a leading British neurosurgeon, manages to keep going, especially when the going gets tough, in what is possibly the most complicated area of medicine - brain surgery. His comments, observations and reflections are based on personal experiences and are written with feeling and compassion.
Marsh understands only too well the concerns, worries and emotions of those looking after someone exposed to brain surgery. His son was diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was a three-month-old baby and had to undergo surgery which resulted in complete recovery. As a neurosurgeon, he knows the challenges and risks brain surgery, indeed any surgical procedure, presents and he shares his knowledge and thoughts with us. Doctors, consultants and surgeons have only limited time at their disposal to talk to us at length when we are confronted with such situations.
An outstanding book from a neurosurgeon who is also a gifted writer.
