Episode 32 of Season 2

Another special guest today Tom Richard who has Hirschsprung's Disease and runs his own Podcast called "The Hirschsprung's hour with Tom Richard" and can be found on all Podcast platforms.

Today Tom tells us all about Hirschsprung's Disease, he was diagnosed with as a newborn baby, and how it nearly took his life.

Tom's tells us openly and honestly his story, his life growing up with this disease, how he managers it today, what the future holds and how he has turned into a positive within his life through his Podcast connecting across the world with others who have this disease.

What causes Hirschsprung's Disease muscles of the bowel are controlled by nerve cells called ganglion cells. In Hirschsprung's disease, ganglion cells are missing from a section at the end of bowel, extending up from the anus (the opening in the bottom that poo passes through).

For some reason, the cells did not develop in that area when the baby was growing in the womb.

It's not clear why this happens, but it's not thought to be caused by anything the mother did while she was pregnant.

A number of genes are associated with Hirschsprung's disease and it does sometimes run in families.

If you have had a child with it before, you're more likely to have another child with it.

Prince and the Pauper, The by Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) LibriVox The Prince and the Pauper (1882) represents Mark Twain's first attempt at historical fiction. The book, set in 1547, tells the story of two young boys who are identical in appearance: Tom Canty, a pauper who lives with his abusive father in Offal Court, London, and Prince Edward son of Henry VIII of England. Due to a series of circumstances, the boys accidentally replace each other, and much of the humor in the book originates in the two boys' inability to function in the world that is so familiar to the other (although Tom soon displays considerable wisdom in his decisions). In many ways, the book is a social satire, particularly compelling in its condemnation of the inequality that existed between the classes in Tudor England. In that sense, Twain abandoned the wry Midwestern style for which he was best known and adopts a style reminiscent of Charles Dickens. (Summary from Wikipedia.org) English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs Loyal Books Jack the Giant-Killer, Tom Thumb, Goldilocks and The Three Bears, Henny Penny, Dick Whittington, The Three Little Pigs, Red Riding Hood and a host of immortal characters are found in this delightful collection of English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs. The book made its first appearance in 1890 and has remained a firm favorite with both young and old ever since. Fairy tales have traditionally emanated from France and Germany. The famous compilations by La Fontaine and the Brothers Grimm have overshadowed children's literature for centuries. Yet, many of the stories we recount to children today have an English origin, something that we were unaware of. The author, Joseph Jacobs, was an Australian folklorist and historian who painstakingly compiled them from various sources. In the preface to the first edition he recounts how he collected some stories from the descendants of English immigrants in America and Australia, while he sourced others from English gypsies and old ballads.
