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.
With no family history of Hirschsprung’s, Lillie Walizer shares her son’s 8-month journey. We discuss hospital life, navigating complex medical terms as well as passing time when it comes to surgery.
