A show that showcases a cdiff story

Postby sevla » Fri Sep 09, 2016 10:16 pm

Hi everyone. I don't know if you are familiar with Tig Notaro - a comidian that had breast cancer and cdiff at the same time.
She has a show that narrates her story - however the focus on that real show was breast cancer and all things that happened to her that year.

She has now a new fictional show which is based on thar very difficult year (in which hee mom dies as well - of a head injury). She wrote a comedy/sitcome based on all events. It's a very dark comedy, but it really gives a lot of attention to cdiff, fecal transplant, etc. The show just premiered on Amazon and it's called One Missisipi - dark comedy with very charged moments around illness. Worth watching (each episode is 30min long).

First time ever cdiff is featured on a show to this extent.

Thanks for posting, I saw her talking about the CDIFF and breast cancer on another show. I LOVE when people get the word out on this illness!

I will watch it!!

I do remember hearing reading her story. I believe it was in People magazine. C. Diff gets very little media attention, but she evidently struck a chord with someone.

I just started watching it! Interesting characters and I like the dry humor.

I had to skip some of the scenes in Episode 1, too heavy for me at the moment, but wow, great show so far. Thanks for posting.

She has a bunch of hysterical video's on youtube, conan appearances, netflix doc, and an hbo special too. Not much else could make me laugh right now. And I dont see any other stars talking about CDiff. Takes a comedian I guess.

edit, her live show from 2012 where she does a unique stand up but about C Diff, Cancer, and Losing her mom, all in 4 months, is free on Amazon Pime:
