A popular biography of brain surgery told by one of its preeminent practitioners. We’ve all heard the phrase “it’s not brain surgery”, but what exactly IS brain surgery? Dr. Theodore Schwartz explores what it’s like to be the person holding the scalpel, wielding the drill, removing a tumor, fixing a bullet hole or stopping a blood clot from damaging the brain—when every second can mean life or death. Neurosurgery, a profession that is barely 100 years old, creates a profound connection between two human beings, but few know its history. How does it feel to hand over your most vital organ to a stranger? And how does performing brain surgery change your perspective on the self and free will? Dr. Schwartz is a neurosurgeon as well as a professor of neurosurgery at Weill Cornell Medical Center at New York Presbyterian Hospital, one of the busiest and most highly ranked neurosurgery centers in the world. This popular biography of brain surgery draws from the pages of popular media, sports, and government archives. Schwartz delves into some of the most famous neurosurgeries and probes deeper questions about consciousness and identity. This is the ultimate cultural and scientific history of a literally mind blowing field and where it’s going in the future.
