Synopsis:
Juju Chang reports about Christopher Wall, who came into this world with all the right parts, except that one of them was in the wrong place. His heart was beating outside his body. More than a medical rarity, it was a mystery to the doctors.John MacKenzie reports about Carly, who was a severely autistic little girl unable to speak a word or connect to the world around her in any way. Or so everyone thought. That until she turned 11 and something truly remarkable happened - she typed her first words: "h-u-r-t" then "h-e-l-p."Bob Brown reports on a medical mystery wrapped in a beautiful love story of Tunick and the selfless fiancé who cares for her.Deborah Roberts reports on people who have a medical condition called SRED, Sleep Related Eating Disorder, where they eat in their sleep. Sometime it's once, sometimes many times a night, fast asleep; the sufferers eat things as odd as cat food, coffee grounds, eggshells or soap, and don't even know they're doing it.
