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.

相当坦诚了
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."
评分相当坦诚了
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。
评分本书作者是纪录片The English Surgeon中的男主角，英国伦敦的著名神经外科医生。本书中收录了他几十年执业生涯中的25个小故事，有关病痛、灾难和死亡，也有关医生与病人的恐惧、无奈和悔恨。文笔很好，引人入胜。
