Do No Harm
Henry Marsh offers an unforgettable insight into the highs and lows of a life dedicated to operating on the human brain. With astonishing candour and compassion, Marsh reveals the exhilarating drama of surgery, the chaos of a busy modern hospital, and the moral dilemmas surgeons face. Readers gain both practical understanding of neurosurgery and the deeper human questions surgeons confront when hope is the only option left.

When Breath Becomes Air
At thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying; the next he became a patient. This memoir chronicles Kalanithi’s shift from medical trainee asking what makes life meaningful to neurosurgeon, patient, and new father. It’s a poignant account of identity, purpose and the search for meaning in the face of mortality.
