What happens when a doctor becomes a patient? Henry Marsh on his book And Finally

[@michaelhall7028]

Henry Marsh is one of my favourite surgeons and a very interesting chap. But at 72 he's not very old, he should under normal circumstances have another 10 or 20 years left to live. My grandmother is 98 and still going strong. It's sad that he has prostate cancer, but he seems to be very pragmatic, and it appears he has come to terms with what he has got. I hope he recovers as people like Henry Marsh are one in a million. He has done so much amazing work during his career, helping others and in many cases transforming their lives for the better. God bless him.

Extraordinary man. I've read and been moved and entertained by all three of his books. Having watched my father die in horrid, long, drawn-out circumstances, I agree 100% with Assisted dieing. We are humane towards our beloved animals but not to our beloved relatives. Such an emotive subject.

I’m so glad Henry Marsh has written his reflections on his career down and published them. It is giving me inspiration and motivation as a trainee surgeon! I found his comments interesting, that upon retirement, he no longer felt he had to detach himself from the rest of the world and has rejoined everyone. Sad but true in order to operate on people you must maintain some sort of psychological distance from humanity.

Very interesting and lovely video. The interviewer seemed genuinely interested and engaged. I like that

Extraordinary human being and a doctor

The man is a GOD! He changed my life back in the 90's and I would never be able to thank him enough. Eccentric, intense, highly intelligent (of course!), and a true English gentleman. I fell in love with him instantly because he reminded me so much of my late Uncle, another great surgeon who also studied at Oxford. Bless him 💜💜💜

Admiro a este hombre tan sencillo y la forma en la que aborda los temas tan difíciles de su profesión.

I’m reading his book “And Finally”. My husband read his book first. We are finding out here in the USA we’ve had little support for the prostate cancer patient.
