As one of the world's leading brain surgeons, Dr Jandial is the
last hope for many patients who have extreme forms of cancer -
patients who can't be saved, but deserve more time. Life on a
Knife's Edge is his account of the resilience, courage and belief
he has witnessed in his patients, and the lessons he has learned
from them. Both an unflinching account of extreme surgeries and a
profound, moving and introspective memoir, this book reveals the
depths of a surgeon's psyche who is pushed to his limits, day in,
day out. From keeping a gun victim's heart pumping with his own
hand, to saving a woman from paralysis and performing brain surgery
while time is running out on a haemorrhaging patient, we see how
making life and death decisions and facing unimaginable pressure
has shaped one man's life. Now, he shares the many truths about
human nature that he has learned along the way: from how we deal
with trauma, loss and threat to our innate belief and sense of
self. From a life spent balancing on the line between life and
death, above all else he reveals what it really means to survive.
