When The Surgeon Becomes The Patient - Henry Marsh
Manage episode 514136850 series 2518965
At age 70, after a long career as a neurosurgeon and best-selling author, the tables were turned on Dr. Henry Marsh.
Diagnosed with cancer, and facing his own mortality, Marsh offers a humble and honest look at what it was like when a prominent doctor becomes a patient; just as scared and dependent as anyone of us would be dealing with a terrible diagnosis, with regrets, fears, and feelings of helplessness.
In his latest book chronicling his experience, Marsh shares some valuable lessons that he learned from both sides of the Doctor/Patient relationship.
