Admissions
Summary
This program is read by the author An international best seller Henry Marsh has spent a lifetime operating on the surgical front line. There have been exhilarating highs and devastating lows, but his love for the practice of neurosurgery has never wavered. Following the publication of his celebrated New York Times best seller Do No Harm, Marsh retired from his full-time job in England to work pro bono in Ukraine and Nepal. In Admissions he describes the difficulties of working in these troubled, impoverished countries and the further insights it has given him into the practice of medicine. Marsh also faces up to the burden of responsibility that can come with trying to reduce human suffering. Unearthing memories of his early days as a medical student and the experiences that shaped him as a young surgeon, he explores the difficulties of a profession that deals in probabilities rather than certainties and where the overwhelming urge to prolong life can come at a tragic cost for patients and those who love them. Reflecting on what 40 years of handling the human brain has taught him, Marsh finds a different purpose in life as he approaches the end of his professional career and a fresh understanding of what matters to us all in the end.

Primo non nuocere
Summary
Cosa significa essere un neurochirurgo? Come ci si sente ad avere in mano le sorti di una persona, mentre ci si apre un varco tra la materia grigia che ne genera i pensieri, i sentimenti e le emozioni? E, se qualcosa va storto, come si convive con le conseguenze? È ciò che scopriremo attraverso questo audiolibro, la confessione sincera e intensa di un famoso neurochirurgo inglese che, alla luce dell'esperienza quarantennale, rievoca le vittorie nelle battaglie combattute al fianco dei pazienti, ma anche le inevitabili sconfitte, gli errori e i fallimenti. "Primo non nuocere" è la narrazione di una professione eroica, chiamata a confrontarsi ogni giorno con i momenti di maggiore fragilità dell'essere umano - la scoperta della malattia, la speranza di una cura -, a prendere decisioni cruciali che, in un modo o nell'altro, cambieranno il destino dei pazienti, ma anche del medico stesso che porterà sempre con sé le storie di gioia o di dolore delle persone che hanno confidato all'abilità delle sue mani e alla generosità del suo cuore le loro vite in pericolo.
