They are the real life doctors on the ABC Network I have a chance to meet on my tv. But you have to check with local network as to the airtime.
It's such a wonderful show with lots of health tips and medical advances. I was very much intrigued with the camera, the size of an ordinary capsule, which help the medical professionals to make a better diagnosis if there's anything wrong with our digestive system. And this little camera has actually helped save a woman's life with an accurate diagnosis of Chron's which she was suffering from. It's never too late and I'm looking for opportunities to see more of them.
What do you love about this show? Care to share what you have learnt from it.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi TomiTomi,
This is one rare occasion where I feel bad about where I stay - India. I wished I was there too and this show would have helped me too. I am suffering from Ulcerative Colitis and that is some advanced version of Chrons or Chron itself. Not sure. A similar diagnosis here in India costed about 20,000 INR when I thought of utilizing this service. But then the doctors cautioned - It is a waste of money coz no one around here would be able to read out the 60,000 + images that it would generate. Considering this fact that we might borrow the technology but we wouldnt be able to get it diagnosed.... I gave up this thought.
Thanks for this informative post...
Regards,
theSids.

Thanks tomitomi. I have known on internet about people who have their entire intestines removed for a cure for chrons. But that makes life stuck and crippled. Still, the search is on and I am hopeful that they would find some cure during my lifetime and someday I would be cured.
