Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery by Henry Marsh
4.0
This is a spectacular read, albeit scary.
Marsh is humble in the way that he only talks about his mistakes and regrets, yet he's actually a renowned and excellent doctor. And yet he's still arrogant in the way neurosurgeons tend to be.
I balked at how openly he talked about misdiagnosis and surgical errors that he made, it's amazing that he can own up to them.
Each chapter is named after a medical condition which one of his patients had, and he talks about what's special about that particular case and person, linking it to his own personal life, and complaining a shit ton about the NHS.
