Cindy's Story

Cindy woke up in a room at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston,
Massachusetts in September 2009 in a radically altered body. She suffered a
catastrophic heart attack while on vacation two months earlier and was
med-flighted from Maine to Boston. In response to the heart attack, Cindy
experienced an adverse reaction to medication and multiple organ failure.

delirium where she was never fully conscious. These complications resulted in
amputations involving all four limbs: both of her legs below the knees and
varying amounts of each of her fingers.
