Admissions: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh
4.0
This is a 3.5 for me, so rounding up. At first, I found the author a bit annoying and superior, and I almost returned the book to Audible, but he grew on me as time went on. I realized that he is often tackling the really big issues, and that some things he says in passing are actually really worth considering. He admits that he has a lot of self-confidence, but he also openly discusses mistakes he has made and regrets he has over the way some cases turned out. I got a bit tired of hearing about the clean-up of the lock-keeper's cottage, but his stories about Nepal were fascinating. I discovered that I have his first book, Do No Harm, in my Audible library already, so I will tackle that soon.
