10 Very Strange Medical Cases

Weird History has compiled a list of very strange medical cases from the Middle Ages to modern times. It starts with the familiar case of Phineas Gage, but I bet you haven't heard of most of these conditions. Some of the patients died, while others were able to be treated, but most left the patient with lifelong disabilities of one kind or another. At least one, the man with the sticky skin, doesn't appear to be bad at all, just strange. Be warned that a few of these stories will require a strong stomach on the part of the viewer.
