ILLNESS, wrote Susan Sontag, is “the night-side of life”. In his bestselling 2014 memoir, “Do No Harm”, Henry Marsh, a neurosurgeon, gave an elegant account of his role as a gatekeeper of this night-side, an “underworld of suffering”. In “Admissions” he returns to the same territory, but also covers his life before and after the heart of his career.
苏珊·桑塔格写道,“疾病是生活的阴暗面”。在神经外科医生亨利·马什2014年的畅销回忆录《不做伤害》一书中,他优雅地讲述了他作为这个阴暗面看门人的角色,他说这是“痛苦的地狱”。在《入门课》中,他重提这个领域,也涉及到了他从业的前前后后。
