A Toxic Medical Mystery. I'm A

Rebecca Leib. And this is Ghost Town. The incident that hospitalized six medical workers, including one doctor, was so alarming to the staff at Riverside General Hospital that the emergency room was evacuated to the parking lot.

It has not yet been determined what caused the emergency room

workers to fall ill while treating a cancer patient who had been brought in by

ambulance. On February 19th 1994, Gloria Ramirez was rushed to General Hospital in Riverside, California.

Right in our backyard.

A total of six people attempting to work on her either fainted, had shortness of breath, nausea, and even temporary paralysis.

Whoa.

We're going to be talking about what the press named the toxic lady.

Now, the climate right now.

And this was not obviously planned to do now for any reason.

This is, we were discussing this episode a couple of weeks ago.

It was on our list and now is when we're doing it.

Now is the time, baby. So if you're ultra sensitive about hospitals or not knowing what can affect who.

This might not be the episode for you.

God, I'm glad I ate a bunch of stew before we do this.

This is gonna to be a this is an interesting one because it took

place in the early 90s which I found interesting and it's Riverside, California. We love talking about

Southern California and it's relatively recent and really it seems to still be

officially summer of a mystery. I love that. Tons of conspiracy theory. Of course. What

will we do without that? Yeah, I hope one of them is linked to Brittany Spears toxic.

No, no.
