About this listen

In this Medical Detectives Sleuth Story Anna tells Dr. Nance the baffling case of Gloria Ramirez, known as The Toxic Lady. In 1994, Gloria was rushed to a California ER where 27 of the 37 staff members treating her fell ill, some requiring hospitalization, after exposure to her body. Despite autopsies, hazmat investigations, and decades of speculation, no conclusive explanation has ever been proven. Was it a tragic chemical reaction, a hospital cover-up, or something even stranger? As Anna walks Erin through the eerie timeline and competing theories, they unravel the science, sexism, and unanswered questions behind one of medicine’s most chilling unsolved mysteries.
