3 Conditions
Cardiac Arrest: the heart has an internal electrical system, which controls the rhythm of the beat. An arrhythmia causes an abnormal heartbeat. During and arrhythmia the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or stop beating like in the nun’s case. Without medical attention the person can die in a matter of minutes. People who receive CPR and defibrillation are more likely to survive from a Cardiac Arrest.
Cellulitis: is a bacterial infection in the deepest layer of the skin. The cells swell up; bacteria can enter a body through a break in the skin, a cut, scratch or bite. With cellulitis the deep skin tissue infected becomes red, hot, irritated and painful. Symptoms: skin redness or swelling in the infected area, tight, glossy look to skin, pain, skin rash, and fevers, chills or muscle aches. The treatment to cellulitis includes antibiotics.
Connective tissue disorders: connective tissue is the “cellular glue: that gives your tissues their shape and keeps them strong. The nun had scleroderma, which has no known cause. Scleroderma means hard skins, systemic scleroderma affects your blood vessels and internal organs and your skin.
