One of the saddest parts about this case was that Gloria’s children were subsequently bullied at school as a result of the sensationalized news stories about their dead mother. Other kids spread rumors that they came from a filthy household, that their mother was a meth addict, that their mother was a mutant, that their family was dangerous, etc. I can’t imagine losing your mother at a young age in such a horrific way, only to be teased and ostracized for it.

Not only did psychiatrists once believe hysteria only affected females, they believed that it was CAUSED BY female anatomy, namely the uterus. The word "hysteria" comes from the Greek word "hustera," meaning "womb." It is from this root word that we also get "hysterectomy." It was once believed that hysterectomy was a legitimate treatment for hysteria.
@sensen1080

To get to the ER via ambulance was down a ramp to the ER doors. people where running up the ramp as I was outside doing paperwork. I have zero idea if anything toxic was going on with Gloria but the air in the ER was pungent and gritty. That's the only way I can think to describe it. I suffered no side affects but clearly remember that night. Your analysis is spot on, well done.

I just can't quite buy the mass hysteria theory when these doctors are faced with critical emergencies on a daily basis including severe trauma victims and don't all collapse into heart arrhythmic unconscious states. I definitely think the ketoacidiosis theory holds weight, but I somehow also think this would have been considered and ruled out by the medical professionals. Though things do get overlooked so it's possible.

Maybe ketoacidosis isn't common for an ordinary cancer patient? However, cancer patients are known to sometimes pursue weird diets in a desperate attempt to beat the cancer when contemporary orthodox medical care doesn't do it. I had a friend who perished of cancer who near the end was trying kale juice. Perhaps a combination of things, including medical fumbles and staff under harmful stress. I'd like to know how that hospital rated among hospitals at that time for accuracy of medical care.

@@ethpling165 we can't actually prove that any of it happened, and even if it did, there is a way more logical explanation than mass hysteria. honestly, i think mass hysteria is a bunch of bull and it was also used to disregard women entirely. there was another case of "dancing plague" in spain long ago, where people would dance as remedy when they were bitten by venomous spiders. because they would dance themselves into exhaustion that would kill them, it reinforced this idea that you had to continue dancing to survive once bitten. that is how they learned, as untrue as it may be. considering this happened a few times, it was probably common knowledge to people to dance to survive the bite, or whatever else may have troubled them. in other words, i don't think these people were subject to hysteria or true madness- although, with the medical knowledge we have now it's easier to write it off as "they were just crazy" when in reality, they experienced a huge lack of medical phenomena and resources, and were left to find their own "remedies" in a time of desperation and confusion.

Honestly I wish it was discussed more; we're all, as humans, suggestible and affected by the mind controlling the body--just look at chronic pain conditions! I just think medical professionals need to be more aware in communication, and that the general public needs to understand that, if it's your reality, it's real. Some people's pain is triggered by the mind, but there's no difference in the suffering of that person, and good harm reduction approaches don't treat physical pain only.

Your theory explained a lot, and is very convincing! However, I can't help but wonder if Gloria might have tried some sort of alternative Cancer treatment. A lot of people who can't afford traditional treatment or feel as if their chances of survival are low resort to more unconventional measures. Is it possible that Gloria was self medicating? Were there any experimental treatments that used similar ingredients to meth? Could Gloria have been using meth for palliative care, knowing that she was going to die? She probably wouldn't have told anyone. And if she was buying drugs to ease her suffering, its not unlikely she got a "bad batch" either mixed with or missing specific chemicals. Just a thought, though! As always, great research and presentation.

I remember this case because I have used DMSO since the age of 12 when I tore a ligament in my knee. My surgeon was the team doctor for Stanford's football team. He gave me DMSO and had me use it multiple times daily to heal my knee. In one month I was off crutches. Ii healed in less than 3 months. I continued to use it on my arthritic horse's legs. It was magical how it helped my horse. Over the years when I had serious injuries I would use it , but only topically. It would always give me garlic breath. I researched it as an adult and it is used internally as well for serious bladder problems. DMSO is sold in health food stores and is still used by veternarians and some medical people. It reduces inflammation and its effect was discovered accidentally by people who worked with it and saw their arthrutis improve. I believe this woman likely used it in conjunction with something else as if you mix it with something else, it takes the other substance into your bloodstream. The one definite side effect of using it is the garlic breath. It is used internally in the bladder for interstitial cystitis.

Mass Hysteria by itself just sounds absurd in this case. Why would an experienced staff suddenly have symptoms brought on by empathy for a woman in her thirties rather than one in her twenties, or a teenager or child? Why suddenly this one random person? Ridiculous. This is the one theory which I find not the least bit credible; highly insufficient to explain the facts of the case. Ammonia exposure plus the staff being quite overworked, stressed, and hungry/dehydrated is obviously a recipe for symptoms such as they experienced. Women tend to be smaller on average and thus more susceptible to ammonia inhalation. Plus there's socialization: "Does this smell like ammonia to you?" = many female staff members affected.
@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking
@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking 2 года назад
The fact he went on about this theory without instant dismissal - extremely disappointing. Having "sympathy" for a myth about women is NOT a way to support us. Women are smaller, have less blood in the body, eat less, and generally take lower doses of medication. We're much more likely to be effected by a chemical before men. (Just like children are, before women.) Just because the canaries go down first in the coal mine - does not mean the canaries are hysterical. It means they're more sensitive - and you better wake up to danger. (This is how exactly the men were saved. They'd have gone down eventually too without swift evacuation.)

really interesting, thanks! - I don’t believe hysteria, and that’s bc after I became ill in 2009, I had many many doctors tell me that I wasn’t sick, it was psychological, I was just fat, and I was a hypochondriac. Finally I found a doctor who took me seriously and ran a bunch of tests and diagnosed me with a 1 in 1 million rare disorder. Since that one doctor took me seriously, I got the “Not Crazy” stamp on my file, and all subsequent doctors took me seriously, and I’ve subsequently gotten 4 more diagnoses (that cluster together). Objective proof, blood tests and nervous system tests prove these disorders, and the treatment works. The main disease was in my blood the entire time, but my blood tests were always “perfect” because nobody ever tested for that specific auto-antibody. “Nothing there” usually means “nobody looked in the right place.” When there’s a mystery involving a man, the reaction is: Huh that’s mysterious. When there’s a mystery involving a woman, it’s: Oh yeah that b* is crazy.

problems with your theory: - medical stuff know ketosis. and ketoacidosis. - the amount of ammonia needed for a 'burning sensation' and all the other syptoms, just by breathing in some air near the patient, would meant that the patient had enough ammonia in her blood to basically disolve her... but in all seriousness, ammonia is pretty effectively transformed by the body into urea. Kidney failure would result in high amounts of urea.

Good video, but I have one point of contention. Having worked with equines that have been treated with large amounts of DMSO, I can tell you that you absolutely CAN smell that stomach turning chemical/garlic odor before you come into physical contact with the substance. Your nose will tell you a horse is on a DMSO treatment regimen the moment you walk into the barn. A veterinarian explained that DMSO is a solvent that permeates tissue, so as it is carried through the body the lungs emit and aerosolize the compound as a the horse exhales. I am a layperson, so I don't profess to understand how this works, that being said, I know you can smell DSMO. It gives me the heaves!

I used to use pure DMSO in the lab, and it really does have a weird garlicky smell. You can smell it from the otherside of the room when someone opens a bottle. And, yes, it's not toxic in and of itself, but it is used to deliver dissolved chemicals to the body because it is very good at penetrating the skin. I believe it's used as a solent to introduce chemicals into the body and is used in some chemotherapy methods. Just my two cents.

I spent 9 months as a dialysis technician and my first thought was the toxic buildup in her tissue explaining basically everything from Gloria. The toxic waste is stored in intramuscular fluid and the bodies cells primarily, while also flowing in the bloodstream. ESRD (end stage renal disease) causes massive fluid buildups in the bodies that primarily pools to the legs and feet, when doing dialysis removing water is the majority of the treatment, it is no less important than removing the wastes like phosphorus and nitrogen. During treatment we monitor changes in blood volume to estimate how much water we have removed. This is done by testing conductivity of the waste water and works because of a coincidence where sodium and urea have almost the same molecular volume so they are assumed to have equal diffusion across the dialyzer membrane (dialyzer is the filter used to remove toxic waste from the blood, it is pressurized to remove the toxins via reverse osmosis). I am simply pointing that out because the wastes and water is not just in the blood, there isn't nearly enough room for all of that in the blood and she could have also had some of that liquid waste buildup seeping through her skin or coming out in sweat. It is extremely important to note that a regular nurse or doctor does NOT have training and knowledge in kidney failure, it is a highly specialized part of medical care and there is not any school program for it. All the training I got came from the company I worked for, and every employee had to do it, from tech to nurse, nutritionist, all the way up to the doctors. We were all lumped together in the same in company classes. Hospitals are also equipped with specialists for kidney related issues, and they are contracted through a kidney care company like mine and not employed by the hospital itself. I am pointing this out because it would be expected for a general ER doctor and nurses to not know what was going on, other than her simply having kidney failure (they wouldn't know the intimate details of what chronic end stage kidney failure entails, they would only be familiar with basic acute kidney failure so that they could recognize it then send that person to a specialist). For the average kidney failure person they would not know they had kidney failure, they would go into the hospital, very sick and dying and not knowing why. Doctors would figure it out based on a blood test, put in a catheter, then send them to kidney care technicians in hospital, and discharge them to a kidney care clinic (like where I worked). There were constant issues with communication between hospital care takers and our clinic, they would do things that while fine for a normal patient, could kill a patient with kidney failure and hospital staff had no idea. For example if someone had diabetes it is common to give them something like orange juice to raise blood sugar if it was low. This however could kill a patient who has both diabetes and kidney failure (which is extremely common as most kidney failure is caused by untreated or improperly treated diabetes) this happens because the juice is high in potassium which their body cannot filter out. Anyways on to hysteria, given that it is expected that the doctors/nurses would be mystified by this (which people seem to have been thinking otherwise), it is absolutely reasonable to anticipate the hysteria, in the manner you described in your theory version, for a couple staff after seeing a doctor pass out. And I say that as someone who is prior military and majored in neuroscience in school. Even trained professionals can mentally break down and can do so in what would otherwise be ordinary experiences. Seeing leadership pass out would have caused them massive distress, couple that with lack of food and confusion, I would honestly expect at least one person to drop in that situation, considering the number of staff involved. The same would happen in the military in a synonymous situation. Sorry for the long comment, I wasn't expecting it to be so long but I thought you would appreciate the input, although you seem fairly versed in the science involved.

Conversion disorder from what I've heard is often used as diagnosis when they dont actually know what's wrong. I think I seen 30- 50% of sufferers are misdiagnosed. I would guess part of why more women are diagnosed with this is because women are often not actually listened to by doctors. They probably have autoimmune diseases and are just diagnosed with conversion disorder cause the dr cant see a reason for symptoms and go "ah, it's all in your head." This little rant is not related to the video only cause it was brought up and I have a theory on why more women are diagnosed.

EXACTLY. when they say "statistically more women experience conversion disorder", what i hear is "women are more likely to be DIAGNOSED with conversion disorder".

I was misdiagnosed with four different things including conversion disorder. Turns out, i have neurological Lyme disease and a bunch of co-infections. My symptoms have been neurological for almost 4 years now and the bacteria has to be in the body for about 5 years to become neurological- so- what i find, is that doctors will often just think inside their specialty and generalize complex symptoms to fit a condition they can diagnose regardless of if that is the actual cause or not. In the last few years, I had been to over 10 specialists to no avail. Also, the Lyme tests they use in offices don’t work! They had don’t 4 on me and all had false negatives. Why is this? Because they only detect the bacteria for Lyme (rather than that and/or some if the co-infections) and because it will only show a positive for Lyme 3 weeks after infection and no further. As a reminder, at that point i would have had Lyme for a minimum of 5 years. Even now I’m still chronically ill, although now i have a PICC line and IV and oral antibiotics. Moral of the story: people should keep looking for answers even after a idiopathic diagnosis, as often times the real cause can be found eventually.

Just a thought, but once a person has died the body begins decomposing. How long did it take for them to ready themselves for the autopsy? Refrigeration slows down decomp but doesn't stop it completely. A living chemistry set (a person's body) is a very different thing from a dead decomposing body where bacteria on and in the body is releasing gas and no oxygen is being carried through the blood to tissues. I think the decomp could easily have hidden something in plain sight or muddied the results enough to just confound those doing the autopsy. In some cases, being dead even for an hour could keep a toxicology report from being completely accurate depending on what is going on and what they're looking for. If they can even guess what they're looking for. Being alive allowed the chemical culprit to thrive in her body albeit for a short time until her death. After her death the chemical composition could have changed to something seemingly benign that no one would have looked twice at unless they knew specifically what they were looking at when seeing the toxicology report. Not everything shows up on a toxicology report. Specialized testing is expensive and discouraged. They went after the wrong thing, blew their wad on the wrong test, and supervisors weren't going to keep throwing money into the investigation when no one but the patient died. Bottom line - 1 life lost and it wasn't hospital staff. The hospital needs to be open to make money. Sweep it under the rug and back to business. Never mind that the staff suffered symptoms. Hospital reputation over everything else. Clearly, I'm feeling cynical at 3 am. Insomnia does that to me sometimes. Sorry about that. I'm going to check out some pet videos. Hope y'all have a better night than me.

I have just come from the Oushi video. I appreciate your calm and measured presentation style. It is informative, and thought provoking, I will be subscribing as it has impressed me. The lack of sensationalism or hyping up the drama is appreciated. Obviously some kind of chemical combination or interaction of the cells from cancer have produced some kind of chemical or toxic gas substance. Then it dissipated. Perhaps Gloria was exposed to some kind of chemicals over a period of time, or a form of radiation.

Fascinating stuff. One thing that I would ask, that maybe you could answer - the chemo that the woman was having, if she was indeed receiving any. Could the chemicals used in chemotherapy, mixed with the toxic build up in her body have had any effect? Not that this would be necessary of course for your theory (which I consider to be brilliant, frankly) to be true, its just something that occurs to me. Brilliant work.

I actually do buy the possibility of the DMSO theory, but not because of Dimethyl Sulfone or Dimethyl Sulfate. There's one more compound that fits the bill a lot better: DMS, or Dimethyl Sulfide. DMS is one of the metabolites of DMSO, so if someone were to consume or be exposed to a large amount of DMSO, much of it would turn into DMS. Unlike Dimethyl Sulfone, DMS, which has a boiling point the same temperature as blood, is excreted via the breath, as a vapour, which is why DMS exposure actually /does/ cause the breath to smell like garlic. DMS vapour exposure's common symptoms are: nausea, vomiting, skin irritation, breathing difficulties, and even loss of consciousness. Reading over the case it honestly sounds like the original people investigating weren't even aware of this. The available information says they literally looked through the Merck index to try to track down a possible similar compound, and settled on Dimethyl Sulfate because most but not all of the symptoms fit.

Your channel is inspiring and criminally underrated. I hope to start back at my own channel soon, doing written scripted content in an attempt to try my hand at more analytical and discussion oriented content, so seeing another small(ish) channel doing something of this high quality really inspires me. I hope to see more of this type of content, these sorts of mystery videos are my go-to late night binge content. And you do it exceptionally well.

I remember reading about this case in the newspaper. It was a short article buried on the 8th or 9th page but I was fascinated, even though details were sparse. The next day the follow up article was even shorter but did identify the victim as Gloria Ramirez. I never found another piece of written information. It was like it never happened. Then about 10 years later, Unsolved Mysteries did a segment which was mostly a recap without much new information. Still, I was fascinated. At that time the internet was in it's infancy so a search of available information provided nothing new. Thank you for creating this episode as this story still fascinates me. The answers lie within Gloria's tissues, I'm certain of that. I'm hoping that there are surviving samples stored for safe-keeping until the truth is discovered. Such a bizarre incident! Add to that the staff were diagnosed with hysteria and things take a very sharp turn into conspiracy town. Thinking out loud here but I wonder if any of the researchers created computer models of her tissues.

I think you're overplaying the mass hysteria angle, nurses sometimes pass out and more so when exposed to ammonia on an empty stomach with others nauseous or vomiting around them, they are human and it was a bad day in the OR. But I subscribed, very good work and I see you did everything yourself!
