What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How does it feel to hold someone's life in your hands, to cut through the stuff that creates thought, feeling and reason? How do you live with the consequences of performing a potentially life-saving operation when it all goes wrong? DO NO HARM is an unforgettable insight into the career of one of the country's leading neurosurgeons, and 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 world of neurosurgery can often seem daunting even for medical professionals, let alone regular people, but Henry Marsh deals with some of his most difficult cases, intermixed with his philosophical musings, complaints about the NHS, and his thoughts on life in general in a wonderfully told collection of stories, complete with his hilarious British wit and understatement. For fans of Adam Kay - Lewis (QBD)
