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.
用户评价
##一開始當作（又一本）神外故事會看，但中段開始基調逐漸改變，作者開心見誠地談論自己的失敗，剖析自己遇到無法救治的病人或者手術失敗的病例時的所思所想，還反覆吐槽NHS管理得如何官僚死板，讓普通人一窺醫生這一職業背後的壓力和煩惱。 印象比較深刻的章節，一是作者自述其公學牛津drop out gap完回校再轉行的游刃有餘白人中產人生（……），二是官僚制度無論在蘇聯解體後的烏克蘭還是在倫敦都死死把控住治病救人的醫院，三是作者反思自己年輕時因自大而手術失敗、使病人成爲植物人，印象最爲深刻的四則是作者照料臨終母親、以及散見於各章節的對死亡的思考。看完很强烈的一個感受是，in Cantonese，人命真係好化學……
评分##As a competent doctor, it is interesting to see him lashing out against NHS and the management.... That gotta tell ya something?
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##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##“The operating is the easy part, you know,’ he said. ‘By my age you realize that the difficulties are all to do with the decision-making.” “Life without hope is hopelessly difficult but at the end hope can so easily make fools of us all.”"Great surgeons tend to have bad memories."
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##改天写一篇读后感吧。严重推荐。
评分##无比真挚坦诚的脑外科医生心路历程，好赞！
