In this exclusive extract of The Doctors, shared ahead of Monday's episode, Stephanie Rodas, 28, (pictured) weeps as she asks the experts for help to recover from the disease which she has battled since she was 13. Over the course of 16 years, she has teetered on the edge of viability, at one point dropping to a life-threatening 55lbs (pictured, left). Now she is seeking help, seven months after a near-fatal encounter with some painkillers. Viewers will watch as Stephanie undergoes a battery of tests. First, she will get an ultrasound and bloodwork with gastroenterologist Dr Su Sachar, to assess her metabolic health. She then undergoes an EKG and echocardiogram with cardiologist Dr. Leonard Scuderi.
