Do No Harm

How does it feel to hold someone's life in your hands, to cut through the stuff that creates thought, feeling and reason? This memoir gives astonishingly candid insight into the career of one of the country's leading neurosurgeons, and into the countless dramas that take place in a busy modern hospital. Now in paperback.


Henry Marsh was one of Britain's foremost brain surgeons, and worked as Consultant Neurosurgeon at Atkinson Morley's/St George's Hospital in London for thirty years. Since retiring from full-time work in the NHS, he has continued to operate and lecture abroad, in Nepal, Albania and Ukraine. He has been the subject of two award-winning documentary films, YOUR LIFE IN THEIR HANDS and THE ENGLISH SURGEON. He is the author of two memoirs, the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling DO NO HARM and ADMISSIONS. He was made a CBE in 2010.
