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.
##“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."

評分##人生最精彩的故事寫在病例本裏 brutally honest brilliantly written 讀得欲罷不能 在捧腹大笑時淚流不止
評分##作者居然參與瞭Holby City的撰寫😂😂/讀後感:除瞭烏剋蘭那段特彆cherry on the cake,後半部分實在是太長太draining瞭。
評分##講述疾病與死亡的書是那麼迷人,讓我重拾瞭當初看LGBT類作品的那種激情。可惜平權再看早已沒有處理生死那樣讓人顫栗。讓我印象最深的是作者記錄母親癌癥彌留的那幾天,搬迴自己的傢,躺在床上。他每早來看她,她便說:“活著呢”也說她很幸福。她的兒女陪在身邊,好友在餐桌前聚,說著她的平生……直到最後一刻,她都未失智。作者,作為握瞭半生手術刀的醫生,羨慕起這種的死亡。 我也羨慕。
