She said she was given Ceftriaxone three times after initially seeking treatment for red eyes and a sore throat. "Before this, I was employed at an IT company, and I was [an] online model in my spare time," Chuenlosang lamented. "This condition has shattered my dreams. It's destroyed the life I had before."

Perez was better prepared for her second pregnancy. Her blood pressure was down, she had lost weight, she had been walking more, and she had been ditching salty foods in favor of fish and vegetables after meeting with a Langone nutritionist. Things went much more smoothly for Perez the second time around. She didn't develop preeclampsia for her second pregnancy and welcomed Daniel on March 19. "I'm so happy that they have this [program] now, and more women are going to be able to utilize it," Perez enthused about the Langone program, which helped her through both pregnancies. Perez had to deliver Lucas early because of her preeclampsia. Perez is celebrating Mother's Day on Sunday with her two boys. They plan to add to their family — and Perez knows Langone will be there when she's ready. https://nypost.com/2024/05/01/health/8-nyc-hospitals-earn-poor-grades-for-patient-safety-report-card/#respond Wed, 01 May 2024 12:07:51 -0400 2024-05-01T12:42:28-04:00 https://nypost.com/2024/05/01/health/8-nyc-hospitals-earn-poor-grades-for-patient-safety-report-card/ Tracy Swartz https://nypost.com/?post_type=article&p=31882828 0 31882828 Staten Island University Hospital - North Campus NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull also earned a "D."

After seeing countless doctors who allegedly called her “lazy” and “careless," she became fed up and contacted a specialist. The specialist suggested taking part in a sleep study, which required her to slumber for 14 consecutive hours. The results showed her body never entered a deep state of sleep that’s needed for proper rest. In 2017, her condition was confirmed. “Learning what was wrong wasn’t just a lightbulb moment, it was more like a series of flickering lights leading me forward through a dark tunnel," Davis said. She's sharing her story to raise awareness about her condition and encourage others to seek proper medical attention. https://nypost.com/2024/03/17/lifestyle/paramedic-treating-woman-in-cardiac-arrest-has-heart-attack/#respond Sun, 17 Mar 2024 20:54:30 -0400 2024-03-17T20:54:44-04:00 https://nypost.com/2024/03/17/lifestyle/paramedic-treating-woman-in-cardiac-arrest-has-heart-attack/ Tracy Swartz https://nypost.com/?post_type=article&p=31275291 0 31275291 treating-cardiac-arrest-daisy-devane-78547337 Daisy Devane, middle, lost consciousness in her Bedfordshire home in 2022.
