This is a completely realistic book, the stories of the daily life of the neurosurgical department of the oncology center are interspersed with "live" conversations in the operating room, which the author - a neurophysiologist, an intraoperative monitoring specialist - has been hearing for almost twenty years.The heroes are real - neurosurgeons, resuscitators, nurses, the situations are real, the methods are real (there has not been a work of fiction about intraoperative monitoring in the domestic literature yet). Unfortunately, diseases are more than real - mainly brain tumors. The only feature of the powerful ninth shaft brings this book to the shelf with fiction: one of the characters is Death. Not a phenomenon, but a being. However. and this character does not make the book implausible, because what in life can be more real than death? It seems that with such a character and in such an entourage, the story should be difficult, even tragic. But the narrative turned out to be light and rather funny than sad
