Henry Marsh, a brain surgeon, is a hero of medicine, a description that would not have dismay him. He is not short of vanity, as he admits, and, as a result, you'll need to be able to slice people's heads open for a living while still holding someone's life in your hands. Do No Harm, his earlier book, was an enthralling and honest account of his illustrious career in neurosurgery around the world, and it was a international bestseller. The scalpel, so to speak, has changed hands, and Marsh, who has resigned, finds himself on the receiving end after a cancer diagnosis. But this is only the start of this remarkable book: it is admittedly a patchwork covering a massive array of topics including woodworking, trekking in the Himalayas, Albrecht Durer's etchings, the Covid lockdown, the coffining of the brain, sleep, and dreaming are all included in this remarkable book. . .. And of course, death.
