This Is Your Brain With Dr. Phil Stieg

When The Surgeon Becomes The Patient - Henry Marsh


Listen Later

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.
