Unearthing the accounts of new and astonishing medical conditions – many of which have left the medical world baffled – this series follows patients on their journeys as they seek treatment.
These individuals face great challenges in their lives every day from the stigma of their condition which may leave them disfigured, to the pain and discomfort they must endure.
In India, Arpit was born with his heart on the outside of his rib cage; in Mexico, Adrian has a tumour the size of a basketball on the side of his face; in America, Janice has a giant leg that has grown out of proportion to the rest of her body.
These are just some of the stories of bravery that are rarely seen and testing medical expertise to the very limits, in a series that uncovers the truth behind the headlines.
