The Medical Detectives is a weekly podcast where medicine meets mystery—told by the very people who’ve lived it. Hosted by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Erin Nance and content creator Anna O’Brien, each episode unravels strange and surprising medical tales from the people who lived through them. Think of it as a detective story—only here, the clues are hidden in blood tests, x-rays, and patient files. From curious, unsolved diagnoses to behind-the-scenes accounts of what really goes on in hospital corridors, Anna and Dr. Nance guide you through the ups, downs, and jaw-dropping moments of life in the medical world. Dr. Nance brings her professional insight as a practicing physician committed to uncovering disparities in healthcare, while Anna shares her experiences as a patient navigating a complex system. In every episode you’ll hear first hand stories from guests who’ve confronted real medical puzzles on the relentless search for answers in a system that doesn’t always have them. Dr. Nance brings her insider expertise, while Anna uses her own patient experiences to spot the heart of every story. Together, they explore the suspense, the drama, and sometimes even the humor, behind solving these real-life medical mysteries. Whether you’re a curious mind, an avid true-crime fan, or someone who’s been left in the dark by confusing diagnoses, The Medical Detectives shines a light on the unexplained. Listen in each week to learn, to question, and to be amazed by the strange but true cases that prove sometimes the most gripping mysteries unfold in hospital corridors.Copyright 2025 Soft Skills Media Biografías y Memorias Ciencias Sociales Crímenes Reales

  • Sleuth Stories: Gloria Ramirez AKA The Toxic Lady

    Sleuth Stories: Gloria Ramirez AKA The Toxic Lady
    Oct 29 2025

    In this Medical Detectives Sleuth Story Anna tells Dr. Nance the baffling case of Gloria Ramirez, known as The Toxic Lady. In 1994, Gloria was rushed to a California ER where 27 of the 37 staff members treating her fell ill, some requiring hospitalization, after exposure to her body. Despite autopsies, hazmat investigations, and decades of speculation, no conclusive explanation has ever been proven. Was it a tragic chemical reaction, a hospital cover-up, or something even stranger? As Anna walks Erin through the eerie timeline and competing theories, they unravel the science, sexism, and unanswered questions behind one of medicine’s most chilling unsolved mysteries.

    Carrie's Story: The Beach House Mystery
    Oct 22 2025

    A healthy 54-year-old mom goes from beach-week brain fog to 103° fevers, crushing fatigue, chest spasms, and organ dysfunction in a matter of days—ping-ponging through a possible UTI, pancreatitis, and pneumonia diagnosis before landing in the sepsis ward with ARDS and sky-high liver enzymes. With cultures negative and answers scarce, an infectious disease “detective” adds doxycycline—and Carrie’s hunch, sparked by local news headlines, finally cracks the case of the mystery illness that almost killed her.

I like the thoughtfulness of the creators. Dr Nance listens to guests who mostly have not been heard by their providers.

In depth rare stories. Dr Nance helps explain the issue.

I am learning so much about diseases that I haven't known about. It’s humbling to realize what others experience. Both Dr. Nance and Anna are well skilled in listening and summarizing the patients' stories.

What Patients Teach Us

Not a fan. It does not make sense to me why Anna is part of these podcast. She is not in the medical field and not a detective. I know that she was the guest as well on a couple of the podcast shows and her story changes based on what platform she is talking on. Lot of misinformation from anna not corrected by this Dr. Nance. I am actually surprised comments are on for this. I think that this podcast will not last long. Not very interesting and did not keep my attention even when i sped it up to 2.5. This is my opinion.

Not at all a medical mystery
