DHC

If I could pick one channel that I had to watch, it would be the Discovery Health Channel. At least once a week we watch this channel in amazement. Our favorite show? Medical Incredible on Monday nights. They usually feature 5 or 6 different people with highly unsual diseases, abnormalities or unusual treatments that have been developed to treat illnesses. Tonight we saw a baby that was born with 3 legs, a man with tourette's syndrome who had an electrode implanted in his brain and can literally turn on and off his ticks with a remote control, and a father and son who turn their legs backwards and walk! Highlights on other shows have been "I am my own twin" where someone is born with their twin inside of them, "The 160 lb Tumor", and "Pregnant for 50 years" with a woman who had her baby inside her (dead of course) for 50 years before she had it removed!

And on the days when I work from home during day, lots of baby delivery shows! These folks at the Discovery Channel never cease to amaze me.

Now that is reality TV at its finest.

Oh my GOSH!!! Those stories sound disturbingly fascinating. No wonder the show is addictive! It's like you're compelled to see what other crazy conditions are out there...
