Admissions: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh
4.0
I'd give this a 3.5 stars.
I still have Marsh's first book, Do No Harm, on my to-read list, but I had the opportunity to read this book first, thanks to getting an ARC from NetGalley. I think now I’ll push that one up closer to the top of my read-next list and see what else Marsh has to say about his work over the years. I enjoyed this book, though it did wander a bit, so I imagine the other will be just as interesting or more so, with it probably focused more on the brain surgery he did for so many years. Marsh has some interesting insights on life, death/dying and medical practice, and his take on the British National Health Service is valuable as those of us who live in the U.S. still debate how best to provide health care to our citizens.
*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
