Physicians Untold Stories - Mary - Chapter 6 - 2016
2016
F
Mary, a woman over 300 pounds, underwent routine ankle surgery but suffered cardiac arrest after receiving antibiotics intravenously, likely due to an allergic reaction. Her monitor showed a flatline, initiating chaotic CPR efforts. A young red-haired OR tech from the room next door rushed in to help but was not performing compressions adequately. Dr. Mochel had to elbow him out of the way to take over, cracking Mary's sternum and probably one rib in the process. After several minutes and IV cardiac medications, Mary regained heartbeat and breathing. She remained unconscious until transferred to ICU and recovered over six days. Upon discharge, Mary had transformed from a negative, difficult person to someone sweet and respectful. She thanked Dr. Mochel for saving her life, revealing she had watched everything from above the operating room during her cardiac arrest. She accurately described the red-haired orderly coming from next door, Mochel elbowing him away when he wouldn't move, and him stumbling away. She also mentioned seeing Mochel repeatedly looking at the door waiting for the internist who never appeared. Mary reported her deceased grandmother told her this wasn't her time and she returned when CPR started. Her observations included minute details she couldn't have known with closed eyes and no consciousness.
