Ep 107 - The Toxic Lady
Manage episode 355571980 series 2841142
In Riverside, CA, 1994, a young woman by the name of Gloria Cecilia Ramirez was admitted to the emergency department of Riverside General Hospital for tachycardia and abnormal respiratory patterns. As emergency staff proceeded with defribillation, it was observed that Gloria's body was covered in an oily sheen and was emitting a garlicky-fruity smell. As a nurse drew blood, the smell of ammonia filled the room. Several hospital workers in proximity to Gloria became nauseaus and collapsed. What was happening in that hospital room? Had Gloria's body become a biomedical hazard? And, if so, how? This is the story of The Toxic Lady.
