Hey listeners, I'm here to tell you about an all-new suspense-driven podcast.

Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries. It's hosted by Mr. Ballin, one of the internet's most popular

storytellers. Why medical mysteries? Well, we've all been there. Turning to the internet, the

self-diagnosed inexplicable pains, the abilitating body aches, sudden fevers, and strange rashes,

though our minds spiral to worst-case scenarios, it's usually nothing. But for an unlucky few,

these symptoms can start the clock ticking on a terrifying medical mystery.

Each week on Mr. Ballin's medical mysteries, you can expect bizarre, unheard of diseases,

miraculous recoveries, strange medical mishaps, and everything in between. Like the unexplainable

death of a retired firefighter whose body was reduced to ashes, even though nothing around him

burned. Or the time when an entire town became ill with nausea and chills. The local doctor initially

chalked it up to being food poisoning, until people start jumping from buildings and seeing

tigers on their ceilings. Each terrifying true story will be sure to keep you up at night.

I'm about to play a clip from Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries, while you're listening,

follow Mr. Ballin's medical mysteries on Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.

crops. He made his way through the field, stopping to catch his breath every few steps. San Ju

moved a lot slower than his co-workers because of his massive belly. For the past 15 years, San Ju

had struggled beneath the weight of his ever-growing stomach. At first, when he was in his early 20s,

his family had thought he was just filling out a little, like all young men do when they become

adults. But San Ju's stomach didn't stop growing, it kept getting bigger and bigger until it
