In Escapades in Individuals Being, Gavin Francis leads the listener over a journey through health and illness, offering insights on everything from the ribbed surface of the brain to the trick workings of the heart and the womb; from the pulse of life at the wrist to the unique engineering of the feet.

If your body is a overseas country, then to practise treatments is to explore new territory: Francis leads the listener with an adventure through what it means to be real human.

Gavin Francis is an award-winning article writer and doctor and a contributor to The Guardian, The New York Review of Literature and London Review of Books.
