Synopsis
Documentary that examines real-life stories of medicine's most confusing diseases and procedures. Freak accidents are explored, including such incidents as Patsy Bogle's pony tail being caught in a blender and completely tearing her scalp from her head. Her surgeon, Dr. Paul Gross, would need the help of a medieval medical solution to save her head: leeches. Other stories include Maysie Webster's mosquito bite that turned out to be a rare disease known as Buruli Ulcer, which is similar to leprosy.
