Henry Marsh is counted among Britain’s foremost neurosurgeons and has been the subject of two documentary films. As a senior consultant at St. George’s Hospital in London, he helped develop a revolutionary surgical procedure that keeps patients awake through local anesthesia in order to reduce damage to the patient’s brain during surgery.
