A 31-year-old mother is rushed into Riverside Hospital. The staff is alarmed by unusual smells and an oily sheen found on her body. Within minutes, nurses and doctors collapse to the floor, sending the entire ER into a frenzy. The entire floor is evacuated during one of the strangest and most-disputed medical mysteries of the modern era.
This is the unexplained case of Gloria Ramirez, a woman labeled as “the Toxic Lady,” after officials tried to explain what happened in the hospital that night by suggesting that her body was somehow producing a chemical weapon. Other professionals claimed mass hysteria. Yet the family claimed that the hospital was trying to cover up a documented history of toxic gas violations in the hospital.
Three delayed autopsies, sexism in healthcare, suspicious violations by the hospital, and conflicting eyewitness accounts created the most complex mystery of the 90s.
