One evening in November of 2016, a professor was sitting outside in his backyard during a torrential thunderstorm.

2016 年 11 月的一個傍晚，一位教授坐在自家後院的戶外，正值暴雨雷鳴。

The sky was black, rain and hail were falling everywhere, and all around him, all he could hear were countless sirens.

天空一片漆黑，雨水和冰雹四處落下，在他的周圍，只能聽到無數的警報聲。

The city was in the middle of a full-scale disaster.

這座城市正處於全面災難之中。

But this professor was not actually shocked, because the day before, he had predicted this, and he had tried to warn people, but his warning had not worked.

但實際上，這位教授並沒有感到震驚，因為在前一天，他就已經預測到了這一點，他曾試圖警告人們，但他的警告並沒有奏效。

And now, people were dying in the exact way he knew they would.

而現在，人們正以他所知道的方式死去。

好了，讓我們進入今天的故事。

At 5.30 p.m. on November 21st, 2016, Jodi Santoro, who was a 21-year-old mother in Melbourne, Australia, woke up to the sound of her four-month-old son crying.

2016 年 11 月 21 日下午 5 時 30 分，澳洲墨爾本 21 歲的母親喬迪-桑託羅（Jodi Santoro）被四個月大的兒子的哭聲吵醒。

Outside, there was this horrible thunderstorm going on.

All this rain and hail were pelting the roof, and the wind was so strong that all the windows in the house were rattling.

大雨和冰雹砸在屋頂上，狂風大作，房子裡所有的窗戶都在嘎嘎作響。

Jodi reached over and grabbed her phone on the nightstand and checked the time, and she saw right away that she had overslept.

喬迪伸手拿起床頭櫃上的手機看了看時間，她一眼就看出自己睡過頭了。

However, it had been a really hot day that day, and she was so drained from the heat, and also taking care of a four-month-old, that she wasn't really surprised she'd overslept.

不過，那天真的很熱，她被熱得精疲力竭，還要照顧四個月大的孩子，所以她對自己睡過頭並不感到驚訝。

But, as the sound of her son's cries intensified, Jodi knew, no matter how tired she was, she needed to get up and go tend to him.

但是，隨著兒子的哭聲越來越大，喬迪知道，無論她有多累，她都必須站起來去照顧他。

But, the instant her legs swung off the bed and she actually tried to stand up, she knew something was wrong, and it had nothing to do with being tired.

但是，當她的雙腿從床上擺動起來並試圖站起來的一瞬間，她就知道出了問題，而這與疲憊無關。

She had this incredible sense of dizziness come over her, and then her chest suddenly tightened up to the point where she could barely even breathe in.

她感到一陣難以置信的眩暈，然後胸口突然悶得幾乎喘不過氣來。

She found herself grabbing the bed just to steady herself.

她發現自己抓著床只是為了穩住自己。

However, as alarming as this was, Jodi didn't panic.

儘管如此，喬迪並沒有驚慌失措。

She had been dealing with asthma for years, and she knew this was the start of an asthma attack.

她多年來一直與哮喘打交道，她知道這是哮喘發作的開始。

And so, Jodi reached over for her inhaler on the nightstand.

於是，喬迪伸手去拿床頭櫃上的吸入器。

She picked it up, brought it to her lips, pressed it down, and then took in a measured breath of the medication, expecting to pretty much immediately feel relief.

她拿起它，湊到嘴邊，按了下去，然後有節制地吸了一口藥，期待著能馬上感覺到輕鬆。

Jodi, again, pressed down the inhaler, harder this time, and took a bigger breath in, hoping that a bit more medication might do the trick.

喬迪又一次按下了吸入器，這次更用力了，吸得更大了，希望多吸一點藥可能會有效果。

And so, now, with panic rising inside of her, she's still struggling to breathe.

所以，現在，她內心的恐慌在不斷升溫，她還在努力地呼吸。

Her son is still freaking out, and she can't tend to him.

她的兒子還在抓狂，她無法照顧他。

And all she was thinking is, I have to get my nebulizer, which is basically a more robust version of an inhaler.

她當時想的是，我得去拿我的霧化器，那基本上是一個更強大版本的吸入器。

It provides more medication more quickly into your body.

它能讓更多的藥物更快地進入人體。

However, the nebulizer, which was just over in her closet, required some setup.

不過，霧化器就在她的衣櫃裡，需要進行一些設置。

And she knew she felt so frantic right now, and she was shaking so much, that she didn't think she'd be able to set it up, or even set it up in time before she passed out.

她知道，她現在感到非常瘋狂，渾身顫抖得厲害，她不認為自己能夠設置好，甚至不認為自己能夠在昏迷前及時設置好。

Just then, her fiancé walked into the bedroom, drawn there by the sound of their son crying.

就在這時，她的未婚夫走進臥室，是被兒子的哭聲吸引過來的。

But, the second he walked in, his attention was not on their son.

但是，他一進門，注意力就不在他們的兒子身上了。

It was instead on Jodi, who by now was clutching the bed, and kind of hobbled over, and very clearly having some sort of medical emergency.

喬迪此時正緊緊抓住床，步履蹣跚地走過來，顯然是出現了某種緊急狀況。

Jodi turned to him and began to say, I can't breathe.

喬迪轉向他，開始說："我無法呼吸。

But her fiancé already knew she had asthma.

但她的未婚夫已經知道她患有哮喘。

And so, without even needing to be told, he rushed to the closet, set up her nebulizer, and then put the mask right over her face.

於是，他連吩咐都不用吩咐，就衝到壁櫥前，為她準備好霧化器，然後把面罩直接罩在她的臉上。

And as soon as it was, Jodi took in the biggest inhale she possibly could, really believing this was going to stop the asthma attack.

一吸氣，喬迪就使勁吸了一大口，她真的相信這樣就能阻止哮喘發作。

But just like the inhaler, the nebulizer didn't work.

但和吸入器一樣，霧化器也不起作用。

It felt like with every breath she was taking, her lungs were shrinking, not expanding.

她感覺自己每呼吸一次，肺都在縮小，而不是擴張。

And so, Jodi turned to her fiancé and croaked out, call an ambulance.

於是，喬迪轉向她的未婚夫，哽咽著說："快叫救護車。

And so, her fiancé, who also was now beginning to panic, grabbed the phone, and as he was talking to the dispatcher, trying to relay all the details of what was happening, outside this thunderstorm was only getting worse and worse.

於是，她的未婚夫也開始驚慌失措，他拿起電話，一邊與調度員通話，一邊試圖轉述發生的所有細節，外面的雷雨越來越大。

The hail and the rain were battering the sides of the house, and all the windows were shaking.

冰雹和大雨擊打著房子的兩側，所有的窗戶都在搖晃。

I mean, it was absolute bedlam inside of this house.

我是說，房子裡簡直是一片混亂。

The next few minutes were torture for Jodi.

接下來的幾分鐘對喬迪來說簡直是煎熬。

She laid on the bed, waiting for paramedics.

她躺在床上，等待醫護人員的到來。

Her breaths at this point were so small, so shallow, like she knew she was about to pass out any second.

此時，她的呼吸是那麼小，那麼淺，就像她知道自己隨時都會暈過去一樣。

And then finally, the paramedics rushed inside.

She knew there were two people in the room, but it was so chaotic.

她知道房間裡有兩個人，但一切都太混亂了。

And all she could say when they showed up in the room was, I'm going to die.

當他們出現在房間裡時，她只能說：我要死了。

The paramedics lifted her off the bed, they put her on the gurney, and as they wheeled her out the door towards the ambulance, her world went totally black.

醫護人員把她從床上抬起來，放在輪床上，當他們把她推出門，推上救護車時，她的世界一片漆黑。

The paramedics rushed Jodi to Sunshine Hospital, and on the way, they tried to stabilize her by squeezing these oxygen bags, forcing oxygen into Jodi's lungs.

醫護人員將喬迪緊急送往陽光醫院，在途中，他們試圖通過擠壓這些氧氣袋來穩定她的病情，迫使氧氣進入喬迪的肺部。

And as they were doing that, Jodi's fiancé was following the ambulance right behind, white-knuckling the steering wheel, praying his fiancé was going to survive this asthma attack.

就在他們這樣做的時候，喬迪的未婚夫緊跟在救護車後面，緊握方向盤，祈禱他的未婚夫能從這次哮喘發作中活下來。

When the ambulance finally arrived at Sunshine Hospital, the emergency room was mayhem.

當救護車最終抵達陽光醫院時，急診室裡一片混亂。

Paramedics quickly wheeled Jodi in on her gurney, shouting out her vital signs to the doctors waiting near the door.

醫護人員迅速將喬迪推上輪床，向守候在門邊的醫生大聲呼喊她的生命體徵。

Her fiancé, meanwhile, watched helplessly as the medical staff surrounded her and inserted IV lines, hooked up monitors, and began intubating her to force even more oxygen into her lungs.

與此同時，她的未婚夫無助地看著醫護人員將她團團圍住，為她插上輸液管，接上監護儀，並開始插管，向她的肺部輸入更多的氧氣。

But fortunately, this rapid medical intervention, once Jodi got to the hospital, appeared to work.

但幸運的是，喬迪到達醫院後，這種快速的醫療干預似乎起了作用。

Because not long after getting there, Jodi did begin to stabilize, not enough to suggest that she was actually all better, but her condition basically began to improve.

因為到達那裡不久後，喬迪的情況確實開始穩定下來，雖然還不足以說明她已經完全康復，但她的病情基本上已經開始好轉。

However, the moment she began to improve, instead of the medical team, you know, talking to her and figuring out what happened and making sure she really was on a path to recovery here, instead, the medical team literally ran out of her room, back out to the front of the ER, because by this point, the Sunshine Hospital ER was overflowing with patients.

然而，就在她病情開始好轉的那一刻，醫療團隊並沒有和她交談，弄清楚發生了什麼事，確保她真的能在這裡康復，相反，醫療團隊真的跑出了她的病房，回到了急診室門口，因為此時，陽光醫院急診室已經擠滿了病人。

There were all these people in the waiting room and also outside, and basically everybody had the same symptoms as Jodi.

候診室裡和外面有很多人，基本上每個人都有和喬迪一樣的症狀。

They couldn't breathe. There were people slumped on the ground against the wall, screaming for help.

他們無法呼吸。有人靠牆倒在地上，大聲呼救。

I mean, the medical team was totally overwhelmed.

我的意思是，醫療小組完全不知所措。

And on top of that, there were ambulances literally lined up around the block waiting to drop off patients.

除此之外，還有救護車在街區內排起了長隊，等待著送走病人。

But nonetheless, doctors and nurses and the medical team at the hospital worked furiously, moving from one patient to the next, sometimes in an exam room, sometimes out in the waiting room, sometimes outside.

但儘管如此，醫院的醫生、護士和醫療團隊仍在緊張地工作著，從一個病人轉到另一個病人，有時在檢查室，有時在候診室，有時在室外。

But the weird thing was, is all these people, they had the same symptoms, these severe asthma attacks.

但奇怪的是，所有這些人都有同樣的症狀，嚴重的哮喘發作。

Yet many of the people that were showing up had never had asthma in their lives before.

然而，許多前來就診的人以前從未得過哮喘。

And really, the situation in the hospital only continued to get worse, with more and more and more patients showing up with worse and worse symptoms.

實際上，醫院的情況只會越來越糟，越來越多的病人出現越來越嚴重的症狀。

And so during this madness, Jodi, who really hadn't gotten better, she just stabilized, she actually was moved out of the emergency room and over to the ICU, pretty much just to create one more space for new patients.

在這瘋狂的過程中，喬迪並沒有好轉，她只是病情穩定了，實際上她被從急診室轉移到了重症監護室，幾乎就是為了給新病人創造更多的空間。

And so in the ICU, Jodi's fiancé sat next to her, gripping her hand, listening to the sound of the monitors beeping steadily all around her.

就這樣，在重症監護室裡，喬迪的未婚夫坐在她身邊，緊握著她的手，聽著監護儀在她身邊不停地發出 "嗶嗶 "聲。

Outside the room, he could see doctors and nurses and medical staff sprinting up and down the hallways, looking frantic and worried.

在病房外，他可以看到醫生、護士和醫護人員在走廊上來回奔跑，神色慌張而擔憂。

But it would turn out there actually was someone who knew exactly what was going on.

但事實證明，確實有人知道發生了什麼。
