Each episode follows two true stories of people whose health is being destroyed or whose lives are threatened by the onset of mysterious symptoms that leave medical experts baffled. Viewers follow along as these mysteries unfold, eventually turning patient desperation into relief when brilliant doctors uncover the medical clues necessary to diagnose and treat such puzzling conditions. Told through first-person accounts and emotional interviews with the patients, primary caregivers and doctors, this series celebrates medicine's true heroes who are willing to break the rules and invent new protocols in solving the strangest cases they've ever encountered.

Of the illnesses that modern medicine can currently cure, there are many more that confound doctors.

RELENTLESS beating of her own heart causes her torment to eventually make her suicidal.
