(PRWEB via PR Web Direct) June 13,
2005 – In a letter sent to the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, researcher
Dr. Benjamin Brenner recently publicized his theory that Jesus possibly died
from a pulmonary embolism. Brenner said he was publicizing the theory to
increase awareness about the potentially fatal disorder. Author Lisa DuFrense
agrees that more awareness should be raised about this leading cause of sudden
death. Those wanting to learn more can read DuFrense's book, "Near Death at the
ER Window."
"People are not aware of it, both in the public and in
medical practice," Brenner told the Associated Press. He further elaborated that
80 percent of pulmonary embolisms are diagnosed only in autopsies.
DuFrense knows about pulmonary embolism from first-hand experience. She
is a survivor. “It is more common and more fatal than most people think.
However, I cannot comment on the likelihood of Jesus' death being attributed to
this. I am not a physician,” she says.
DuFrense, a hospital dietitian,
was at the right place at the right time when she collapsed at the ER window.
Otherwise, she would not have survived. The first words she remembers after her
collapse were:
“Get the stretcher out here!”
“On the count of
three; get her up.”
“Get blood gasses STAT.”
“Give her the oxygen
tank.”`
“I only had minutes to live. Even though I was a health care
worker, I didn't know how fatal this could be,” she recalls. Lisa was
misdiagnosed by physicians for three months prior to her
collapse.
Pulmonary embolism is the third leading cause of death in the
United States. And, it is the leading cause of sudden death, killing more than
200,000 people in the U.S. annually. “This number could be drastically reduced
by knowing risk factors, signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism,” DuFrense
says.
