Description
Surgeon Gabriel Weston continues to unlock the secrets of the human body through some of the most extraordinary cases in medicine. In this episode, Weston uncovers the cases of an engineer who fixed his own heart, a toddler whose bones were repaired before he was even born, and a girl whose immune system attacked her own brain. We meet a man who can taste words and find out how his condition is helping develop new ways to enable blind people to navigate and even recognize colors. And we encounter a man who was immobilized by MS but can now cycle and scuba-dive thanks to a pioneering new treatment that has reversed his disease.
