Welcome to our twelfth Medicine 360 podcast, in which Henry Marsh talks with Dr Ishminder Mangat. He discusses his career and writings, his transition from doctor to patient, and his changing understanding of his own mortality -- as well as what good writing is, how (and when) books may help medical students, and the joys of e-cargo bikes.

Henry Marsh, CBE, FRCS, is the author of the best-selling Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery (2014), Admissions: A Life in Brain Surgery (2017), and And Finally (2022). Do No Harm was translated into over thirty languages. He is also one of the founders of Hospice Ukraine (https://www.hospiceukraine.com), a charity which supports palliative care in that country.

This podcast is hosted by Dr Ishminder Mangat, a junior doctor in Bristol interested in exploring the links between medicine and the humanities.
