- Description
is a television docudrama series produced by True Entertainment. The series debuted on Discovery Health Channel in 2005, where it ran for nine seasons until 2010. When the network was closed down, a tenth and final season was picked up and aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2011.
The series has no regular cast except for its narrator, David Guion (2005-09) and David Scott (2009-11), who describe the patient's lives and the destruction that their illnesses bring. The patients, along with their friends and family, help to narrate the story.
Each episode focuses on two or more individuals who have struggled with obscure medical ailments, and their quest for a diagnosis. Each segment begins with generally begins with a short description of the patient's life before they fell ill (or, in the case of a child, the parents' life before the child fell ill). The person's symptoms are described from their onset, usually becoming progressively worse; the progression is reenacted by actors while the original patient narrates. The show chronicles the patient's visits from doctor to doctor, where they may receive diagnoses or be told that the doctors have found nothing wrong. After continuing to experience symptoms for an extended period of time, the person discovers a doctor who is able to solve their case. The doctor reviews the patient's medical records, notices a symptom that his or her colleagues overlooked, performing tests, and finally reaching the correct diagnosis and giving the proper treatment. This is followed by a brief explanation of why the disorder was so difficult to diagnose, and a description of what the person's life is like today. Though the patient is usually alive, some have died after the episode was taped, and only one had died before the diagnosis (though his afflicted brother survived).
While the majority of the conditions examined in the series are unusual or rare conditions (such as cryoglobulinemia) or genetic disorders, several well-known conditions are featured as well, including epilepsy, Myasthenia gravis, Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, heart disease, Chron's disease, pulmonary hypertension, Lyme disease, endocarditis and cancer. A significant number of episodes revolve around autoimmune disorders, ranging from Pyoderma gangrenosum to Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration.
