Chapter 1: The Arrival at Riverside General Hospital

On the evening of February 19, 1994, Gloria Ramirez, a 31-year-old woman, was quickly admitted to the emergency room of Riverside General Hospital in Southern California. She presented with alarming symptoms: an increased heart rate, low blood pressure, and respiratory distress.

Despite these concerning signs, the medical team remained composed, treating Gloria with sedatives, pain relief, and other medications. However, the situation began to deteriorate as Gloria exhibited an unusual response to the treatment.

During the emergency procedure, the medical staff had to use a defibrillator to revive her heartbeat. As they prepared to administer the electric shock, they noticed two peculiar things: Gloria's skin had an oily texture, and a strange, fruity odor reminiscent of garlic was emanating from her.

As nurse Susan Kane drew blood from Gloria, she observed another anomaly— the test tube released an ammonia-like scent. Susan passed the sample to Dr. Julie Gorchynski, who noted the presence of white particles floating in the blood. Confusion reigned as the medical team struggled to comprehend these bizarre findings, focused solely on saving Gloria’s life.

Chapter 2: The Unexpected Chaos

As treatment progressed, an unexpected wave of panic swept through the trauma unit. Nurse Susan Kane suddenly collapsed, followed by Dr. Julie Gorchynski, who also lost consciousness shortly thereafter. Respiratory therapist Maureen Welch became the next victim of this inexplicable fainting spell.

The remaining medical staff experienced dizziness and nausea, triggering a mass evacuation of patients and personnel to the parking lot, leaving only a minimal team to stabilize Gloria. The scene was unprecedented; stretchers filled the parking area, overshadowing the vehicles.

Six weeks prior, Gloria had been diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer. Despite the grim prognosis, she had fought valiantly for her life, determined to be there for her two young children. In a desperate search for alternative treatments, she sought out various remedies before ultimately succumbing to her condition just 45 minutes after arriving at the hospital.

Chapter 3: The Hysteria Unfolds

What caused the widespread fainting among the medical staff? One theory suggested a potential gas leak, which held some weight due to the hospital’s previous incidents involving toxic materials. However, repeated investigations found no evidence to support this claim.

Following Gloria’s autopsy, which revealed no toxic substances, the California Department of Health and Human Services concluded that the medical personnel were victims of mass hysteria. They suggested that panic had taken hold without any identifiable cause or infectious agent.

Dr. Julie Gorchynski, now recovering at another facility, disputed this mass hysteria theory, experiencing ongoing health issues herself, while Gloria’s family continued to assert that a gas leak was to blame for the chaos.

Chapter 4: The DMSO Hypothesis

As the hospital's turmoil continued, investigators from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were called in to analyze the situation. They proposed a theory involving DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), a solvent Gloria had reportedly used in her quest for pain relief.

Initially banned by the FDA due to its effects on laboratory animals, the ban was lifted in 1980. The safety and efficacy of DMSO remain contentious, with some doctors warning that its risks may outweigh its benefits.

Scientists theorized that the oily sheen on Gloria's body and the garlic-like odor were linked to her use of DMSO. On the day of her hospital admission, she also had a urinary tract infection, which prevented the DMSO from being expelled from her system.

As Gloria was treated, a series of reactions converted the DMSO into dimethyl sulfate, a toxic gas. These reactions included:

1. Administration of oxygen, which combined with DMSO to create dimethyl sulfone.
2. The electric shocks applied to Gloria, which transformed this compound into dimethyl sulfate.
3. The exposure of Gloria's blood samples to lower temperatures, further accelerating the conversion.

This chain of events likely caused the medical staff to experience dizziness and fainting spells, leading to the chaotic scene in the emergency department.

The forensic report from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, while widely discussed, concluded that Gloria's death was due to her cancer, not the accidental conversion of DMSO. On April 20, 19
