📖 The Scoop

InSalty Baby, Orla Tinsley tells her remarkable story, one of a dual childhood played out between home and the hospital where she spent large amounts of time as a cystic-fibrosis patient.

Here she describes the deep bonds forged with fellow CF-sufferers and the anguish of losing young friends due to inadequate health services. She talks about dealing with multiple surgeries and subsequent body-image issues in her teenage years and of how, upon hearing of better CF-care internationally “ and experiencing its benefits in an Italian
hospital “ she made her decision to fight tirelessly for the rights of CF patients in Ireland.

She also tells of her ambition to become a writer, and how keeping a journal was a lifeline during the toughest times.
