Admissions

Praise for admissions
"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 (London)
"Marsh is, given his profession, a surprisingly emotional man, likably so. His account of his younger self that threads through this compulsive book is a bildungsroman in itself. He is also a fine writer and storyteller, and a nuanced observer." -Tim Adams, The Observer (UK)
"Do No Harm, candid and tender, was one of the most powerful books written by a doctor. ... His follow-up book does not disappoint. The maverick is back, even more blunt and irascible, with tales of thrilling, high-wire operations at medicine's unconquered frontier, woven through with personal memoir. ... Marsh in full spate is quite magnificent. . . a master of tar-black, deadpan humor." Melanie Reid, The Times (London)

Praise for do no harm
"Henry Marsh gives us an extraordinarily intimate, compassionate, and some- times frightening understanding of his vocation." - The New York Times
"Neurosurgery has met its Boswell in Henry Marsh. Painfully honest about the mistakes that can 'wreck' a brain, exquisitely attuned to the tense and transient bond between doctor and patient, and hilariously impatient of hospital management, Marsh draws us deep into medicine's most difficult art and lifts our spirits. It's a superb achievement." -lan McEwan
