Jenna Gresko, a local nurse, learned what it's like to be a patient when a rare condition nearly claimed her life after giving birth to her first child.
"I was a healthy 29 year old, so it was expected to just have the baby and you know, go home," said Jenna Gresko, who is a registered nurse in the surgical ICU at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Center City.
It was determined that Gresko had an amniotic fluid embolism. The unpredictable condition involving the liquid surrounding the uterus can lead to heart and lung failure and requires immediate medical attention. It was a Saturday and Dr. Al-Rawas was attending a swimming pool with his children. When he got the call, he immediately rushed to her aid. But Gresko had grown more unstable.
