Okay, this has to be the most mysterious of all of our medical mysteries.

I will tell you I, at no point during this story, had any idea of where it was

going to net out, like at all. It's just a wild ride. I literally was on the edge of my seat,

even as the expert who knew what the answer was.

What's wild is I was, you know, thinking about this.

This is, I think, the first episode where every single person on the call learned some really valuable information.

And I feel like, you know, we, we hear a lot of stories, but, you know, Erin is a doctor.

So she's going to know a lot of the doctor stuff.

But even here, she learned about something she did not know about in her own, like, specialty,

which is kind of wild.

Yep.

And that's part of being a doctor is continuous learning.

And it's part of our duty. And so I

actually think that listening to patient stories is the best way to continue our learning. And with that,

let's get into the story. Let's do it.

Rachel, thank you so much for coming. Welcome to the medical detectives. We cannot wait to hear your story.

We talked about this earlier, but as this works, Anna has no idea what she is in for. And so I would like you to take us back to the start when you think your

medical mystery started. I'm so excited. Well, I can tell you it started from the very beginning.

So we have to go back 132 years to my great grandfather from Poland born in like 1896.

So my great grandpa, he has my grandma.

Then my grandma has my mom and four other kids.

So there's five of them all together.
