A truly joyful patient story this week when we chat to Louise Jenkins. Cystic Fibrosis is a condition that encompasses your whole life. Louise talks to us about growing up with the condition, balancing the constant need for treatment with trying to grow up normally. Louise describes being ill with CF as ‘like having a second job’, and tells us the transformative effect a change in drugs has had on her life. It is a miraculous story.
Our micro-discussion continues our examination of the Sunday Times Article “The NHS is flatlining - here’s how to save it right now” by Health Editor Shaun Lintern. In it he proposes 10 ideas that he thinks might ‘save the NHS’ and so we ask our guests what they think. As one of our younger guests what will Louise’s idea be for inclusion in the ‘Aural Apothecary’s 2023 NHS Tonic?’
As with all of our guests, Louise shares with us a Memory Evoking Medicine, a life anthem and book that has influenced her life. This week's choice will bring a tear to your eye.
