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.
用戶評價
##Extreeemely well written. Objective, brutally honest, cynical yet full of empathy. 腦科醫生故事集，作者一個牛津PPE posh boy，20幾歲棄筆從醫。
評分##相當坦誠瞭
評分##無比真摯坦誠的腦外科醫生心路曆程，好贊！
評分##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管理得如何官僚死闆，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完迴校再轉行的遊刃有餘白人中產人生（……），二是官僚製度無論在蘇聯解體後的烏剋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。看完很強烈的一個感受是，in Cantonese，人命真係好化學……
評分##手術細節寫得非常詳細，什麼鑽開一個孔，骨頭裏麵凹凸不平的地方銼平什麼的，心理承受力不夠恐怕還看不下去，但是好想翻開解剖圖鑒。感謝現代醫學，不然我也不可能活到現在，以及，anaesthetists這個單詞真的好難讀。
評分##As a competent doctor, it is interesting to see him lashing out against NHS and the management.... That gotta tell ya something?
評分##首先，不要傷害。
評分##烏剋蘭小女孩的故事是我感覺最難過的....
評分##As a competent doctor, it is interesting to see him lashing out against NHS and the management.... That gotta tell ya something?
