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.
用户评价
##乌克兰小女孩的故事是我感觉最难过的....
评分##无文学性但故事性不错;有手术细节,若有配图就更好;NHS的官僚为维护患者隐私弄得读患者CT片都很麻烦;计算机化操作程序更烦;年轻医生不愿加班,缺乏经验,新一代医生都是白痴,最后病人遭殃;作者大胆承认了自己的一些失误,这在商业医疗保险体制下不可想象;有医生朋友或同事真好,看病方便
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##一開始當作（又一本）神外故事會看，但中段開始基調逐漸改變，作者開心見誠地談論自己的失敗，剖析自己遇到無法救治的病人或者手術失敗的病例時的所思所想，還反覆吐槽NHS管理得如何官僚死板，讓普通人一窺醫生這一職業背後的壓力和煩惱。 印象比較深刻的章節，一是作者自述其公學牛津drop out gap完回校再轉行的游刃有餘白人中產人生（……），二是官僚制度無論在蘇聯解體後的烏克蘭還是在倫敦都死死把控住治病救人的醫院，三是作者反思自己年輕時因自大而手術失敗、使病人成爲植物人，印象最爲深刻的四則是作者照料臨終母親、以及散見於各章節的對死亡的思考。看完很强烈的一個感受是，in Cantonese，人命真係好化學……
评分##相当坦诚了
评分##还挺好看的，不过最大的感想大概是，手术风险真是很大啊！
评分##相当坦诚了
评分##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
评分##作者居然参与了Holby City的撰写????????/读后感：除了乌克兰那段特别cherry on the cake,后半部分实在是太长太draining了。
