🧠David R. Flum
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 1961, an Antarctic expedition took a harrowing turn: Dr. Leonid Rogozov began feeling feverish, with an excruciating pain in his right side. It soon became clear that he had appendicitis. While Rogozov’s predicament was extreme, appendicitis is not uncommon; affecting roughly one in 12 people. So, what causes appendicitis? And why is this organ so prone to bursting? David R. Flum investigates. [Directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].
