00:00Anybody here?
00:01Hello?
00:02I need help.
00:03See, Jerry, I told you they were open 24 hours.
00:06Hi, I'm Hannah.
00:07This is my husband, Jerry.
00:08Yeah.
00:09Uh, how you doing?
00:10She can't walk.
00:11Uh-huh.
00:12So you strapped her upside down to a refrigerator dolly.
00:14I wasn't going to try and carry her by her ankles for six blocks.
00:17So I'm assuming you don't have a car.
00:19How can I keep her upside down in a car?
00:21OK, look.
00:22Keeping somebody upside down like this, barring certain yoga positions, is very dangerous.
00:25So I suggest that we-
00:26No, no, no, no, no.
00:27You can't.
00:28You'll kill her.
00:29This is a medical emergency.
00:30He's right.
00:31If you turn my right side up, I'll die again.
00:33Now, when you say, again, BP's 120 over 60, heart rate's 65, Cap.
00:39Is that bad?
00:40No, it's totally normal, actually, which is surprising.
00:43How long has she been upside in this position?
00:45Uh, half an hour, maybe?
00:47Could you tell us what y'all were doing before the symptoms started?
00:50There were no symptoms.
00:51She just kept dropping dead.
00:53And what were you doing when she first dropped dead?
00:56We were, uh, in bed.
00:58In bed sleeping, or-
01:00We were engaged in, uh, you know-
01:03Oh, for the love of God, Jerry.
01:05They're all adults here.
01:06We were having intercourse, and I blacked out.
01:08Her heart stopped, so I tried to move her to the floor for CPR, and she slipped off the bed.
01:13The second her head was upside down, she woke up again.
01:15And then everything was fine until I tried to stand up again.
01:17And then she died.
01:18Again.
01:19I tried CPR again, didn't work, so I grabbed her by her legs and yanked.
01:22And I came back to life again.
01:24All right, Nancy, TK, go grab the gurney.
01:26Copy.
01:27Uh, Hannah, I'm gonna lay you down flat so that I can better assess what's going on.
01:31No, you can't, you'll kill her.
01:33No, no, it's okay, we'll be gentle.
01:34Her vitals are strong, I think she'll be just fine.
01:36I'm just not sure that what appears to be happening is what's actually happening.
01:40Jerry, sweetie, we have to trust them, okay?
01:43Captain Strand, can I have some help?
01:45Yes.
01:46Yep, all right, we're gonna lay the dolly down flat, and then we're gonna move her to the gurney.
01:49All right, on three.
01:51One, two, three.
01:54Syncope, I lost her heartbeat.
01:57I told you!
01:58All right, forget the gurney, just get her back up.
02:01Oh!
02:03Did it happen again?
02:04You see? What's wrong with her?
02:06I... I don't know.
02:08Hey, you don't think this could have to do with my pacemaker, do you?
02:12You have a pacemaker?
02:13I didn't mention that.
02:14No, you didn't.
02:15All right, how long have you had it?
02:17Uh, about a year.
02:18But the doctor said that it would last ten years.
02:20As long as it stays connected to the ventricle in your heart.
02:22I'm thinking that your bedroom activities tonight might have dislodged the wiring.
02:26And then when you're upside down, everything falls back into place again.
02:29So, how do you fix it?
02:31I don't.
02:32We need to get her to a hospital.
02:33Cap, our rig isn't tall enough for us to transport her upside down.
02:36She can ride with us.
02:37She ain't gonna fit in a fire truck, either, Cap.
02:39She's not gonna ride in the rig.
02:41She ain't gonna fit in a fire truck, either, Cap.
02:43She's not gonna ride in the rig.
