Episode description: A real-life werewolf, a little girl who comes out only at night, and an extended family living without stomachs -- meet these real life medical mysteries. "Medical Mysteries" explores how although medical science has progressed exponentially in recent times, scientists are still left with unanswered questions about the human body. In Episode No. 2, ABC News reports on a man who has excessive hair all over his body--like a werewolf--due to a condition called hypertrichosis. Next, meet a little girl who must remain a virtual prisoner in the house until the sun goes down because direct exposure causes third-degree burns on her skin. And finally, what if people didn't need their stomachs at all? That's what the Bradfield family has learned after having the organ removed to stop a cancer that has claimed at least two earlier generations of the clan.
