About this item
Heartsink is a darkly funny, tender comedy about what happens when the doctor becomes the patient. When GP Dr Jeffrey Longford is diagnosed with cancer, he’s thrust from the certainty of the consulting room into the fear and vulnerability of the waiting room. Stripped of status and control, his once-solid beliefs - about medicine, dignity, and assisted dying - begin to fracture. As Jeffrey navigates life on the wrong side of the stethoscope, he’s surrounded by characters who are never quite what they seem: an Irish patient hiding a dangerous secret behind hypochondria and magical cake; a sharp-tongued hospital receptionist with a philosopher’s mind; and a gentle colleague forced to confront both professional duty and moral unease. With gallows humour, compassion, and bite, Heartsink collides two intertwined worlds, doctor and patient, to reveal how differently they feel when lived from the inside.
