What happens

Monsters Inside Me is an American documentary television series about parasitic infestations and infectious diseases. The series utilizes first-person interviews with medical professionals and patients telling their personal stories about contracting rare diseases, as well as dramatizations of the patients' illnesses. Interviews with contributors were shot on location across North America. Dramatizations were mostly filmed near hospitals and homes in New York City. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
