Gloria Ramirez arrived at Riverside General Hospital in cardiac arrest, but what happened next defied medical logic. During resuscitation, multiple healthcare workers became ill, some losing consciousness. Reports of an ammonia-like odor, oily residue on her skin, and crystalline particles in her blood led to the evacuation of the emergency room and a nationwide investigation.

Labeled “The Toxic Lady,” Gloria’s case sits at the intersection of emergency medicine, chemistry, and unanswered questions. In this episode, Andrea and Crystal examine her medical history, the leading scientific explanations, and the troubling gaps that still remain in the official narrative.
