Doctor, Doctor

As medical memoirs become increasingly popular we thought we’d delve into some of the fascinating minds of those who hold our lives in their hands. Adrian Owen finds ways to communicate with those in a persistent vegetative state, Adam Kay takes us through his hilarious diary of life as a junior doctor (hilarious in a laughing whilst hiding behind your hands kind of way) and Henry Marsh considers what it is for a brain surgeon to yield such power over life. Not for the squeamish!
