I met Henry Marsh a few years ago and he is the most amazing person.. the calmness with which he discusses his procedures with patients is incredible. I think most people would utterly freak out at the thought of this man performing brain surgery on you while you are wide awake, but he is utterly calm and at ease and confident, and you cannot help but come away from a consultation with him filled with enthusiasm and hope for what he is going to do for you.
