News and the Vanishing Pregnancy1:42 – 7:49

1:42

All right, so the news of the day.

1:44

The first thing I'm going to read you is not news of the day.

1:48

This is a pretty freaky story.

1:51

And let me tell you about it.

1:52

It came to me from a nurse.

1:56

And I know her name, and we know how to reach her.

2:00

But I will not give you her name for privacy reasons.

2:05

We also know who the patient is here, or we're on her trail.

2:15

My producer is trying to produce this.

2:21

This was sent to me by the nurse.

2:23

And so without naming her, hi, Art.

2:28

I just wanted to tell you about a patient that I recently had in the ER.

2:32

It was a young mother who had already presented twice previously since confirming pregnancy ten weeks ago.

2:41

On those visits, she said she felt uneasy about her pregnancy and was concerned for the baby's well-being each time.

2:51

We did blood work and an ultrasound to confirm that everything was as it should be.

2:58

On the third visit, she presented to ER stating that she just didn't feel pregnant and could we please ensure that everything was okay.

3:13

Upon obtaining blood work, her HCG levels were those of a non-pregnant woman.

3:23

Her pelvic ultrasound revealed no fetus.

3:27

No evidence of any recent pregnancy.

3:30

We knew this was not correct because we had done recent ultrasound showing a live single fetus within the uterine cavity.

3:41

This time, though, there was no fetus present.

3:45

The patient did not show any signs or symptoms of miscarriage.

3:51

Just quit feeling pregnant.

3:56

As you can imagine, she was apprehensive about this pregnancy right from the start, and now the pregnancy had vanished.

4:05

A documented and photographed via ultrasound fetus was now missing with no signs of where it went.
