Do No Harm offers an unforgettable glimpse into the highs and lows of operating on the human brain. Neurosurgeon Henry Marsh speaks with astonishing candour and compassion about the exhilarating drama of surgery, the chaos of a busy hospital, and the vital need for hope when faced with life’s most agonising decisions. It’s a candid, humane portrait of modern medicine that resonates with readers who want to understand how skill, risk, and humility shape every patient encounter.
In Stitches pulls back the curtain on NHS life at the sharp end. From cardiac arrests and car accidents to Arrest Avoidance Syndrome, the book paints a vivid picture of what it’s really like to work in A&E today. It’s a frank, often humorous, and deeply human account of the adrenaline-fueled pace, the pressures of limited resources, and the small everyday victories that keep doctors—and patients—going.
Starting the evening before his first shift, Max Pemberton’s Trust Me, I'm a (Junior) Doctor follows a hopeful novice through his first year in the NHS. The journey from youthful idealism to frank bewilderment reveals how much of medicine is about paperwork, complex forms, and the art of real communication—more than heroics. Warm, witty, and insightful, this book speaks to aspiring doctors and readers who want an honest look at medical training and frontline care.
Dr Amanda Brown’s experiences across the UK’s prisons—starting in young offenders’ institutions, through Wormwood Scrubs, to Europe’s largest women-only Bronzefield—offer a rare glimpse into healthcare behind bars. From miraculous pregnancies to dirty protests, violent attacks to acts of self-harm, she bears witness to the full spectrum of medical care in correctional settings and the unwavering compassion that sustains patients under extraordinary pressure.
Whether you’re seeking a heartfelt gift, a timeless keepsake, or classroom-friendly reading that sparks conversations about medicine and humanity, this four-book collection delivers. These stories are trusted by readers for their honest portrayal of care, courage, and the complicated beauty of healing.
