Admissions: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh

4.0

There is a thread of melancholy running through this book which meant I did not appreciate it as much as his last. Henry Marsh is obviously highly talented in so many areas as well as surgery and thinks deeply about life but he is aware of his own mortality and is quite hard on himself at times. He also does not shy away from political failings of the NHS. His own failures seem to be beginning to haunt a man of sensitivity and makes this quite a serious read.
