About this episode

Maria is a neurological specialist who becomes a patient herself when she notices problems with her mobility. She starts to experience cramps in her hands that soon prevent her from driving or tying her shoes. As she sees her ability to care for her patients gradually decline, she faces the skepticism of her colleagues and the fear of not finding a diagnosis. Maria races to get answers before she loses not only her profession, but her way of life, as well.
