Henry Marsh
Henry Marsh spent four decades operating on the human brain. In that time he became renowned as a leading neurosurgeon. He appeared as the subject of BBC documentaries: including the Emmy-award-winning film The English Surgeon. Dr. Marsh earned acclaim for his internationally bestselling, award-winning memoirs Do No Harm and Admissions.
In this conversation with journalist and scholar Erica Wagner, he will open up about his experiences as a surgeon, and events that shaped his career and life. With candor and compassion, we’ll hear Dr. Marsh's reflections on the past and future of the British National Health Service; his commentaries on the functioning of the human brain; and his experiences pioneering surgery in Ukraine and other nations.
Praise for Henry Marsh:
"Wonderful…a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit.”— The Financial Times
“Sensational… Marsh is curmudgeonly, unflinching, clinical, competitive, often contemptuous, and consistently curious. In Admissions, he scrubs up just as well the second time around and continues to revel in his joyous candor." – The Sunday Times
“Superb… a eulogy to surgery and a study of living. I didn’t want this book to end. Henry Marsh is part of a growing canon of superb modern medical writers…whose storytelling and prose are transportation…His timing is also impeccable…His sentences, too, feel like works of the finest craftsmanship, made with the love that goes into both his woodwork and surgery.” – The Daily Telegraph
