by Henry Marsh
You are invited to
spend some time with Mr. Marsh, an eloquent neurosurgeon who escorts us
into his operating theater, his parent's home as his mother lies dying,
interminable maddening administrative meetings in his NHS hospital and to
accompany him to Ukraine where he has volunteered as a surgeon for over 15
years. You'll share his triumphs and suffer the sadness and humiliation of his
mistakes and failures. His war stories
are captivating; as are his anecdotes about his family, his education and his
jousting with the bureaucracy of the English National Health System (the NHS). Brief book review and large number of excerpts on OJCPCD.
A fine documentary, The English Surgeon, profiled Henry Marsh (you will need to scroll down if you check the link).
