Never Say Die - Chris O'Brien (2009)
Chris O'Brien was a head and neck surgeon, with 30 years experience working at the Royal Prince Albert Hospital in Sydney. In the 1990s they started a show called RPA, which followed real patients around the hospital. Chris was one of the likeable, personable doctors who inspire you with their calmness and confidence.
In this autobiography, he mainly writes about both his career and his family life. Also about how in 2006, after a series of headaches, it was discovered he had a GBM brain tumour. Having to give up medicine, this doctor then becomes a patient. Interesting and readable this book doesn't fall into the sappiness or endless boredom or many biographies. 3/5
