Description


Each episode of this documentary series begins with a medical mystery. Sometimes the sickness is in the body, and sometimes the sickness is in the system. Once you peel back the layers, more questions emerge. Created by Allison Behringer and supported by KCRW.

This story is so, so, so shocking and terrible! It's so upsetting to know there are people being subjected to these kinds of harmful procedures and devices. It is no surprise that there are people who don't trust the medical system

I wasn't diagnosed until I was 40. I had to battle the doctors just to get a referral. My neurologist was shocked that no teachers or medical providers ever noticed my symptoms. I was an odd kid, obsessed with crime and disasters and very socially awkward. I have severe sensory issues and need to be underweight just to wear normal clothes. I have to carry my earbuds everywhere in case of noise like chewing or loud music.

Good episode. similar content is covered in more depth (it goes into more detail about the lawsuits) on "Verified: Dust Up," a whole season of the Johnson Johnson baby powder ovarian cancer court cases.

Dear shishirose, why do we need another child brought up by a single mother?! Why?! I'm just screaming out for the voice of the baby. It's unfair. I hear a mother who had no support under Lockdown, complained anxiety is unacknowledged by the general idea of post-partum, and can't so much as afford a virtual doula. May every child be raised by a loving mom and Dad. My experience is of those who seem to be missing half their heart.

There is a vast difference between having Uncontrollable orgasms and being hyper- horny and playing with yourself.

This is definitely something anyone who can should listen to. Traumatic brain injuries are very serious business and everyone should be educated on them and their impact.

I really wish you would put out a birth control episode, in place of this.Women have been having babies for a while.They just need to stop being so weepy and pull up their pants and act like a parent in place of the baby.This world has too many babies that need adopting.We dont need to make new ones.

this is the first episode I heard. God, it made me so fires on Melynda's behalf. Hearing that she told her doctor over and over again that she was in pain and hearing her talk about how he denied it could have been the mesh made me feel so angry and helpless. I wished I could have helped her.
