Join Tara George and Trisha Cantley as they talk about Ben Watt's memoir Patient. Yes it is that Ben Watt from "Everything But The Girl". This is the at times terrifying story of a mystery illness which results in a young man having a near death experience and a prolonged and terrifying hospital stay. We talk about our experiences of hospitals as doctors rather than patients, about the vulnerability of being ill, the effect of illness on relationships, what hospitals are good at and what they aren't. We also thought a lot about the value of book clubs (Trisha is involved with the wonderful #geribookclub on twitter) and how we read - "real" books vs e-books vs audible and the pros and cons of all of these.
