Bizarre Medical Mysteries
Thursday, April 06, 2006
Tonight's Primetime Live was beyond fascinating. The show focused on medical mysteries, particularly people who choose to amputate their own body parts. It's called body identity integrity disorder (BIID). During the show, we met Lilly, who packed her left leg with dry ice hoping that she'd lose it. It didn't work. Now, she's crippled and doctors refuse to remove her leg even though she wants them to. Shockingly, Lilly said always wanted to be an amputee. As a kid, she would draw lines on her legs where she wanted them to end. Doctors say people with this disease often see amputees as people of strength who were able to overcome great hardships.
