“Do No Harm”
Henry Marsh
Lead: Karen
Written by a brain surgeon, all about his experiences of brain surgery; the risks he knows he takes and the wonderful work he does. The back of the book says it’s ‘an unforgettable insight into the highs and lows of a life dedicated to operating on the human brain, in all its exquisite complexity.
How does it feel to hold someone’s life in your hands, to cut into the stuff that creates thought, feeling and reason?
How do you deal with the consequences of performing a potentially life-saving operation when it all goes wrong?
“Do No Harm” is an unforgettable insight into the countless human dramas that take place in a busy modern hospital. Above all, it is a lesson in the need for hope when faced with life’s most difficult decisions.
All welcome – no fees – just come along to listen even if you have not read the book.
