He Never Answered the Calls... #maryyoder #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts | Forensic Files

Remember, Mary's health deteriorated fast. It's not like she was hospitalized for weeks or months. We're talking less
than 48 hours here, starting on Monday, July 20th. Now, Mary was at work that day. Everything was normal. She was
seeing patients, happy, energetic, just like usual. But that afternoon, there was just this swift and noticeable
change. A wave of nausea just hit her out of nowhere, then vomiting and abdominal pain. By the time she was
finishing up with her last patient around 6:00, it was clear to everyone around her that something was wrong. And
she told people that she had never felt so sick before. So, she went home, spent
the night in and out of the bathroom, and by Tuesday morning, this is the 21st, she was even worse. So, around
9:00 a.m., Bill drove her to the hospital. She spent the day there while doctors
ran blood work and scans trying to figure out what was going on. And the medical attention seemed to help. Mary
was feeling a little bit better. Now, doctors still decided to keep her there overnight for observation, but there
didn't seem to be any like, you know, real alarm. So, Bill assumed that she just had this nasty stomach bug, which
is maybe why he did something a few [music] of Mary's sisters found off. He went home that night to rest,
which whatever, Mary wanted to sleep, too. But before going to bed, Bill says that he put his phone in another room to
charge. So, he didn't wake up as the hospital called him again and again [music] and again. Because around 10:00
p.m., this is about an hour after Bill left, not even that long, Mary's condition took this sharp turn for the
worse. First, she fell down while trying to use the bathroom. Then she was moved
to the ICU. And in the early morning hours of Wednesday, the [music] 22nd, she just kept spiraling. Her heart
stopped at 4:17, then again less than 20 minutes later. And when staff still weren't able to reach Bill by then, they
actually sent state troopers to his door to wake him up.

Mary Yoder started her day like any other — working, seeing patients, and feeling completely fine.

By that afternoon, everything changed.

A sudden wave of nausea, vomiting, and severe pain came out of nowhere. Within hours, she was in the hospital. By the next night, her condition took a devastating turn.
