About the Book

El eminente cirujano británico Henry Marsh comparte en este libro vivencias de su etapa de estudiante, de los casos más impactantes de sus primeros años y nos invita a reflexionar sobre lo que de verdad importa y el sentido de la vida.

Un libro imprescindible.

Con la publicación de Ante todo no hagas daño, el brillante neurocirujano conmovió a lectores de todo el mundo al relatar en primera persona su dilatada experiencia clínica en una de las especialidades menos conocidas de la práctica médica. En un inusitado gesto de valentía y honestidad intelectual, reveló sin ambages las dos caras de una profesión que suscita un abanico de emociones intensas, desde momentos de máxima exaltación hasta fracasos devastadores.

En este libro, tan apasionante como el anterior, el doctor Marsh, retirado ya tras haber ejercido durante más de tres décadas en un hospital público de Londres, comparte vivencias de su etapa de estudiante, de los casos más impactantes de sus primeros años y también de su labor altruista en Nepal y Ucrania, llevada a cabo en unas condiciones especialmente precarias. Marsh desgrana un episodio tras otro, pintando un fresco memorable de un oficio colmado de incertidumbres y en el que, a menudo, el empeño por prolongar la vida al precio que sea implica un sufrimiento innecesario para los pacientes y sus familias.

Así pues, la voz íntima y generosa de Henry Marsh compone un ideario humanista que nos aporta nuevas razones para dotar de sentido a la existencia. Su visión de la realidad, rigurosa pero afable, es un bálsamo en un ámbito, el de la medicina y la sanidad, cada día más impersonal e hipertecnificado.

Reseñas:
«Soberbio. [...] No quería que este libro se acabase. [...] Sus frases se nos antojan obra de la más delicada ejecución, realizadas con el mismo amor que Marsh destina a la carpintería y la cirugía.» -The Daily Telegraph

«Sensacional. [...] Nos encontramos con un Marsh cascarrabias, atrevido, flemático, competitivo, en ocasiones desdeñoso e invariablemente guiado por la curiosidad.» -The Sunday Times

«Marsh se ha jubilado, y eso significa que ha iniciado un inventario exhaustivo de su vida. Las reflexiones y recuerdos del autor hacen que Confesiones sea un libro más introspectivo, si cabe, que el anterior.» -The New York Times

«Un libro muy entretenido. [...] Abunda en él la honestidad, una cualidad tan rara y admirable entre los cirujanos de élite como, supongo, entre los escritores de libros de memorias.» -The Guardian

DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH

The 2017 National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) Finalist, International Bestseller, and a Kirkus Best Nonfiction Book of 2017!

"Marsh has retired, which means he's taking a thorough inventory of his life. His reflections and recollections make Admissions an even more introspective memoir than his first, if such a thing is possible." ―The New York Times

"Consistently entertaining...Honesty is abundantly apparent here--a quality as rare and commendable in elite surgeons as one suspects it is in memoirists." ―The Guardian
"Disarmingly frank storytelling...his reflections on death and dying equal those in Atul Gawande's excellent Being Mortal." The Economist

Henry Marsh has spent a lifetime operating on the surgical frontline. 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 bestseller 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 forty 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.
