Neurosurgeon: Notes on the Art and Science of Saving Small Brains

In the book, J. Jayamahjayan, a doctor at Oxford Hospital, describes in detail working life in a pediatric neurosurgery unit. The author shares his impressions of multi-hour operations, child patients, and their parents, as well as the challenges they face. He also explains how a child’s brain differs from an adult’s and what decisions he had to make in difficult situations. The author prefers to go toward difficulties, and this, perhaps, makes him a doctor whom parents trust with their child’s life.
