I am so thrilled to welcome Rema Jyothirmayi back to Bedside Reading to talk about Kathryn Mannix's wonderful second book Listen.

We loved exploring the etymology of the word "tender" and why Dr Mannix might have chosen this to describe tender conversations. Rema and I loved this book and it was wonderful to share a conversation about it in which we realised that some of the same stories had leaped out for both of us.  We explore the power of stories to change our behaviour.

This is truly a book for everyone, regardless of whether they are a healthcare professional.  If you listen better, especially if you can listen well you will never regret it in any scenario.

We also talk briefly about the poem "Night Sister" by Elizabeth Jennings which can be found here  https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/night-sister/
