Hi,
My name is Martin Foster, and I'm working on a new medical mystery docu-series called 'Diagnosis Unknown'. It's being produced by GRB Entertainment, producers of 'Intervention' and 'Untold Stories of the ER' and will air on a new, rebranded Discovery channel in spring 2015.
Each episode will contain two stories, and each story will be told from the viewpoint of the patient, a family member/friend, who supported the patient throughout, and the doctor who was able to finally diagnose the symptoms. Recreations of key scenes will be done with actors.
I'm reaching out as we'd love to include a story about Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome. Ideally, we're looking for someone from the US or Canada who had difficulty finding the right diagnosis, but has since managed to move forward with their life.
The time commitment will be minimal – a few phone calls and an interview done locally. Each patient story will be handled in a unique way that will minimize time but allow us to fully explore their journey.
If anyone is interested in talking to me, I'm more than happy to answer any questions and can be contacted via my email, martin@mysticartpictures.net.
Best,
Martin
