Admissions: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh

3.0

Overall I enjoyed this book, but I liked the medical aspects better than the stories about renovating his property. I agree with some of the other reviews that the chapters were a bit disjointed. His damning opinions about NHS management and politics seem particularly relevant as we’re seeing news of them suffering greatly during the COVID-19, with medical and nursing dependent staffed, under supplied, but heavy with administrators. It’s a story I’ve heard repeatedly from people working in healthcare around the world and it’s alarmingly sad.
