This book is disarmingly honest in revealing the highs and lows in the career of an exceptional neurosurgeon. God-like status often proves difficult for surgeons to handle, both within their professional careers and in private lives, and Henry Marsh does an outstanding job in examining many of the issues through the use of finely crafted case-histories. His difficulties in working within the evolving UK health system, where new levels of management and administration degrade the ability of front-line medical to achieve the outputs expected of them, is sobering and thought provoking.
I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in, and some knowledge of, the the life sciences.
