Doctors That Solve Medical Mysteries

 Dr. Sanjay Gupta takes news to the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Maryland, where a group of world-class specialists have set up a program hoping to solve cases other doctors could not. Getting thousands of mystery cases, they can only accept about 300 patients. Their goal is not only to save patient’s lives, but to also discover new illnesses and new cures. The treat each case like a crime scene: gathering evidence, analyzing results, and finding the cause. Despite the low success rate, NIH proves to be the last hope for patients who have been to the best places and could not find a cure.
