Resumen de Interview Dr. Henry Marsh: Considerations about patient-centered care
ABSTRACT“If we are ill and in hospital, fearing for our life, awaiting terrifying surgery, we have to trust the doctors treating us – at least, life is very difficult if we don’t. It is not surprising that we invest doctors with superhuman qualities as a way of overcoming our fears. If the operation succeeds the surgeon is a hero, but if it fails he is a villain.” The testimony of the neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who has been working for more than three decades at St. Georges Hospital in England, is at the preface of his book “Do No Harm – Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery”. Launched last year in Brazil and in 2014 in England, it was voted one of the best books by The New York Times, the Financial Times, the Washington Post and The Economist. Dr Marsh has spoken with exclusivity to Acred Magazine. Check out!
