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.
##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##长年面对死与生的脑外科医生的笔记和内心独白,故事讲得精彩,同时也带出了发人深省的制度、道德甚至是哲学问题,好看
评分##神经外科医生对自己职业生涯的回顾。一些成功的病例让人雀跃。作者也很坦诚地细数了自己的失误,以及作为医生很多时候的难以避免的无能力为。医生要对病人怀有同理心,但也要保持适当的距离感以保护医者自身作为一个人的脆弱。

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."
