Hey listeners it's me Mr. Ballin and I'm here to tell you about my brand new podcast

it's called Mr. Ballin's medical mysteries why medical mysteries well we've all been there

turning to the internet to self-diagnose are inexplicable pains, debilitating body aches, sudden

fevers, and strange rashes. Though our minds tend to spiral to worst-case scenarios, it's

usually nothing, but for an unlucky few, these unsuspecting

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

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

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

Like the unexplainable death of a retired firefighter whose body was found at home by his son,

being food poisoning until people started 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. Bollin's Medical Mysteries.
