Despite the advances in scientific medicine, the workings of the human body remain a mystery to most of us. How can someone suddenly wake up after spending nearly 20 years in a coma? And how can a child's tumour suddenly disappear on the eve of surgery? "Mysteries of the Human Body" attempts to provide the answers to these and many other medical riddles.
