This isn't one documentary but two: the first part is devoted to a girl who suffers from an extremely rare medical condition; the second part to a man who appears to have picked up an infection from undercooked meat, one that nearly killed him. That too went undiagnosed for a considerable time. Nicole Beavers appears alongside her mother, who raised her alone, and was clearly as perplexed as she was alarmed at her daughter's condition.
Parry-Romberg Syndrome - with or without the hyphen - was first described in the medical literature nearly two hundred years ago, is congenital, and appears in the young. It has been estimated that as many as one person in a quarter of a million may be affected to some degree, which is incredibly rare, but far from the rarest of all diseases.
