About this listen
It's the sleepover from hell that no one prepared you for. The doctors went to medical school, the nurses went to uni, but what about the patients?
Be Patient is a warm, darkly comic account of Tilly Rose's desperate search for a diagnosis, against the backdrop of a hilariously funny, heartfelt and, at times, shocking insight into patient life.
A 'medical mystery' for over 20 years, Tilly has spent a lifetime navigating GP waiting rooms, A&E departments and hospital wards. She has been given a front row seat watching humanity at its worst (or its best, depending on how you look at it). Along the way, Tilly has become highly qualified at two things: being a patient and being very patient.
Now, she is shining a bright, white hospital strip light onto a space that none of us want to occupy but one we know, with some certainty, that we will. This is one girl's extraordinary story about becoming the expert no one wants to be. Complete with 'survival tips' and fuelled with irony and humour (the best medicine of all), Be Patient is an essential memoir on resilience, hope and finding strength in the face of adversity.
