Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death, and Brain Surgery

Named a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review and The Washington Post
What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How does it feel to hold someoneâ€™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?
With astonishing compassion and candor, leading neurosurgeon Henry 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 surgeonâ€™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 lifeâ€™s most difficult decisions.
