Netflix's Medical Investigation Docuseries 'Diagnosis'
Based on Dr. Lisa Sanders’ popular column in The New York Times Magazine, Diagnosis follows various patients on their respective journeys toward finding a diagnosis, and potentially a cure, for their mysterious illnesses.

Amid documentaries with serial killers, insights into the broken criminal-justice system and environmental disasters, it’s nice to watch one that inspires rather than saddens.
That’s especially true on Netflix, which has carved out a reputation for great true-crime docs since “Making a Murderer” became a sensation in 2015. But the streaming service may have found the trendy new documentary subgenre in its latest series, “Diagnosis.”
The seven-episode “Diagnosis” (now streaming is based on the New York Times Magazine column by Lisa Sanders, a New York City physician who chronicles strange medical mysteries. But the series doesn’t just tell stories about hard-to-diagnose patients; instead, Sanders crowd sources the cases after detailing patients’ symptoms. (TNT is trying a similar format with Ann Curry’s “Chasing the Cure.”)
