Discovery Health Channel Casting Call
Jul 28^th, 2005 at 6:00pm

I know not everyone here fits the bill to apply for this but for some it may be worth making the phone call. I personally called this morning and am waiting for a call back.

Casting Call

Did you spend years searching for a diagnosis before finding one? Did you see doctor after doctor, desperately looking for an answer to the question "what is wrong with me?" If so, your story may be of interest for the new Discovery Health Channel series Mystery Diagnosis.

You must:

have spent months or years searching for a correct diagnosis;
seen multiple doctors and gotten multiple diagnoses; and
have ultimately reached a diagnosis that both you and your physician are satisfied with.
The eventual diagnosis doesn't have to be rare or complicated, but the "journey" to solving the mystery should be tricky.

If this situation sounds familiar to you, and you are eager to tell your story, contact Timothy Hedden, (212) 627-6053 x443

Wow Lisa! I'm sure there may be some here that "fit the bill" and who have experienced first hand an incredible "journey" before finally being diagnosed with MM... This may be an opportunity we are looking for to help raise MM awareness. I hope that those whose stories are similar to what the Discovery Channel is looking for will consider this opportunity.

Thanks Lisa!

Take care,
SFH

I'm not sure at what time, more like I forget . Just remember to minus 5 hours from EST (that's when it will air in Hawaii). Hope this helps if not, go back and check on DJ's e-mail that he sent yesterday. Aloha, Jan
