Medical Mysteries Unveiled: 10 curious cases that baffled doctors worldwide: 85th CME event

From a woman with purple urine to a teetotaller man whose gut microbes brewed their own booze, to an avocado overdose leading to a “broken heart syndrome”, a number of intriguing medical cases made headlines last year.

(The speaker himself has the distinction of a paper published in NEJM)
