Gloria Ramirez

Gloria Ramirez, was a Riverside, California woman dubbed Toxic Lady by the media when several Riverside General Hospital workers became ill after exposure to her body and blood. Some speculations were made that she was a part of a government experiment that went wrong to there was chemicals in the hospital that made her entire body a biological weapon. Despite these theories her death was remembered as the most terrifying medical mystery in the world.

Emergency Room Visit
About 8:15 p.m. on the evening of February 19, 1994, Ramirez, suffering from the effects of advanced cervical cancer, was brought into the emergency room of Riverside General Hospital by paramedics. She was extremely confused, and suffering from tachycardia and Cheyne–Stokes respiration.

The medical staff injected her with diazepam, midazolam, and lorazepam to sedate her. When it became clear that Ramirez was responding poorly to treatment, the staff tried to defibrillate her heart; at that point several people saw an oily sheen covering Ramirez's body, and some noticed a fruity, garlic-like odor that they thought was coming from her mouth. A registered nurse named Susan Kane attempted to draw blood from Ramirez's arm, and noticed an ammonia like smell coming from the tube. She passed the syringe to Julie Gorchynski, a medical resident who noticed manila-colored particles floating in the blood. At this point, Kane fainted and was removed from the room. Shortly thereafter, Gorchynski began to feel nauseated. Complaining that she was light-headed, she left the trauma room and sat at a nurse's desk. A staff member asked her if she was okay, but before she could respond she also fainted. Maureen Welch, a respiratory therapist who was assisting in the trauma room was the third to pass out. The staff was then ordered to evacuate all emergency room patients to the parking lot outside the hospital. Overall, 23 people became ill and 5 were hospitalized. A skeleton crew stayed behind to stabilize Ramirez. At 8:50pm, after 45 minutes of CPR and defibrillation, Ramirez was pronounced dead from kidney failure related to her cancer.

What Really Happened?
The death of Gloria Ramirez is still in debate and many people speculated that her body contained a chemical mixture that reacted with electricity. However there's a chilling question, what if she wasn't of this world or dimension. This would be unlikely because she had cervical cancer and her supposed extraterrestrial origins might even found a cure for cancer already.
