It's a huge pleasure to welcome the brilliant Becky Platt to Bedside Reading this week. We're talking about Needle by Patrice Lawrence. Becky is an ACP in paediatric emergency medicine in London. She's also part of the exec for Don't Forget the Bubbles, an amazing open access medical education organisation. https://dontforgetthebubbles.com/
Becky's compassion, her willingness to see young people as themselves, to be thinking about things from other people's perspectives, and to be doing the right thing by young people, even when that is difficult.or not the easiest option, really shone through in our conversation today about Patrice Lawrence's brilliant short novel, Needle.
Becky is an incredible storyteller in her own right. Here's a link to her brilliant TED Talk, which is all about providing love and compassion in the emergency department.
