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.

这是一位英国著名神经外科医生的行医笔记。话说作者是二十一岁弃文从医的耶，那不是和我现在的年纪一样嘛？如果我想转行当医生是不是也还来得及( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)不过当医生要接触那些开颅剖脑的血腥手术，天天面对疾病与死亡，偶尔手术失误时遭受内心自责与病患家属责备的双重煎熬，甚至还要背这么多又长又臭的医学词汇……还是算了吧

“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."

Felt very resonating reading the brain surgery part.

一个英国神经外科医生的回忆录，涉及医患关系，NHS医疗改革，生与死。这工作真是太不容易了。对他讲九十年代初去乌克兰做手术那段很有兴趣，想找他那两部纪录片来看
