Diseases I've Only Seen In Textbooks

Body Bizarre is a TLC show highlighting unusual diseases people live with around the world. Today we look at a man whose body has ballooned in size because of a deep sea diving accident, a man who will die if he doesn't drink gallons of water a day, a woman with a highly-dangerous skin pigmentation issue, gigantism affecting the fertility of a Brazilian couple, and a young Chinese boy whose body always feels hungry no matter how much he's eaten. As always, these conditions are real, so let's lead with empathy and understanding in the comment section. I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back! -Doctor Mike Varshavski Help us continue the fight against medical misinformation and change the world through charity by becoming a Doctor Mike Resident on Patreon where every month I donate 100% of the proceeds to the charity, organization, or cause of your choice!
