The Hirschsprung’s Hour
Tom Richard
Presenter
The Hirschsprung’s Hour is the leading Hirschsprung’s show in the world. The condition effects 1 in 5000 babies in the UK and is present when the ganglion cells (nerves) fail to form in parts of the intestine. Tom Richard will bring you some of the most inspirational advocates with this condition, who are thriving in the world of sport, TV and modelling from around the world.
Courtney was misdiagnosed with encopresis instead of Hirschsprung’s, facing medical gaslighting before a life-saving stoma surgery. Hear her journey of resilience, self-advocacy and raising Hirschsprung’s awareness.
