---神经外科守则第三条：只要病人还活着，你永远有办法把他弄得更惨！---
一位钢铁工人，半路转行学了医，误打误撞进入了有“医学桂冠”之称的神经外科，由此开启了一段甘苦相依的修炼之旅，也见证了那些事关生死的黑色幽默：患有21三体综合征且只有一条椎动脉的安迪、抱着小兔子玩偶与死神抗争的瑞贝卡、抢在脑瘤杀死她之前生下孩子的莎拉……他每天要面对的是“疼痛”“创伤”和“瘫痪”，要打开造物主最不愿让人动的“脑子”，要每时每刻行走在刀锋边缘，也要有接受失败和死亡的勇气。
这是一本改编自真实经历的纪实故事集。在描画那些撼动人心的生死时刻之余，也以自嘲幽默的笔触记录了神经外科医生的心路历程，思索生命的可贵与脆弱，将我们拉回交织着药水、针筒和手术刀的现场，目睹一幕幕真实人生。

【 Content Introduction 】
-- Rule number three of neurosurgery: As long as the patient is alive, you can always make things worse for him! ---
A steel worker, halfway to study medicine, accidentally entered the "medical laurel" known as neurosurgery, thus starting a journey of mutual learning, but also to witness those matters of life and death black humor: Andy, who has trisomy 21 syndrome and only one vertebral artery, Rebecca, who fights for her life holding a bunny doll, and Sarah, who gives birth before a brain tumor kills her. He has to face "pain", "trauma" and "paralysis" every day, to open the creator's most unwilling to let people move "brain", to walk on the edge of the knife every moment, but also have the courage to accept failure and death.
This is a collection of non-fiction stories based on real experiences. In addition to depicting those heart-shaking moments of life and death, he also records the mental course of neurosurgeons with self-deprecating and humorous strokes, reflecting on the value and fragility of life, drawing us back to the scene of interwoven potions, syringes and scalpels to witness the real life.
