Jay Jayamohan makes life and death decisions on a daily basis - that's because he's a Consultant Paediatric Neurosurgeon in a busy Oxford hospital. 

Every day, parents put all their faith in him to make their sick children well again. 

Though he is proud of his successes, he is haunted by every failure. Jayamohan is known not only for his skill in surgery but also his human touch: to him, no patient is only a number.

In this gripping and sometimes heartrending book, Jayamohan - who has featured in two highly acclaimed BBC fly-on-the-wall series following the work of neurosurgeons - brings the highs and lows of the operating theatre into vivid life. 

Everything That Makes Us Human is a pacy, fascinating account of Jayamohan's life and work. 

He pulls no punches and owns his mistakes, but the complete picture is one of a man driven to save as many lives as possible.
