What Parents Need to Know
About Mystery Diagnosis
Parents need to know that this series deals with real people who have faced serious illnesses. Patients and family members tell their stories directly to the camera, which makes their emotional tales quite affecting. Photos and video footage of affected children and other family members can also easily bring on tears. Some stories might create an unrealistic fear of harmless symptoms. Topics include infants who fail to grow, women who have trouble conceiving, elderly men who suddenly go blind, and many more.
