Mystery Diagnosis

One of the best medical shows currently on television is called Mystery Diagnosis. Each episode takes you through two patients’ journeys to find out what is wrong with them. You easily get wrapped into their stories through their extensive interviews that typically include their family and friends.

With out of the ordinary symptoms, people on this show usually have rare diseases. But that makes you wonder if you could ever get it, too- or even somebody you know.

Personally, I tell myself that i’m watching them so if I ever am in their position (or anybody that I know is in their position), I will know what the diagnosis could possibly be. I mean, I also am completely intrigued by rare diseases, but this show is great all around. It’s so fascinating because these people go through years of their lives completely blind to what could be the source of the problem to their weird symptoms.

The patients go through multiple doctors that never figure out what the real problem is for entirely too long. But the patient and people close to them never stop trying to find out. These are 100% real stories, mind you. And eventually comes a doctor who really gets down to business and figures out the problem.

You always learn long worded, weird sounding, rare diseases and all about them by the end of the show. It’s crazy that people are out there right now having no clue what’s wrong with them but they’re struggling everyday with strange symptoms that could potentially end their lives.

This touching, real, personal roller coaster of a show is a perfect show to expand your knowledge to different diseases and it shows you what real people have gone through with their rare diseases.
