Nursing student with a rare disorder featured on the Netflix series "Diagnosis"
In season 1, episode 1 "Detective work", Angel is a 23 year old nursing student who suffers from episodes of muscle pain so severe she often can't move. In order to move forward with her life and begin her nursing career, she needs answers.
Dr. Lisa Sanders used crowd-sourcing to help Angel find a diagnosis. Angel's story is part of a documentary series based on Dr. Sanders column in the New York Times magazine. Dr. Sanders uses crowd sources to find diagnoses for rare and mysterious conditions.
A fascinating documentary series, this episode sheds light on the determination of a nursing student!
Bravo Angel!!!!
Cheers!

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination and Angel has proved that. She is an inspiration to us all.
