Abstract
Shortly before the emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), my mother had a syncopal episode, breaking her hip. After 2 failed hip pinnings, she had total hip arthroplasty. She was a very youthful 85 with few health problems; yet, in the recovery room, they were unable to wean her off oxygen. We were in the emergency room 3 times to rule out a pulmonary embolus. Whatever diagnosis you are coming up with in your mind, trust me, we went there. Her team of amazing pulmonologists, each with a specialty in the recesses of pulmonary medicine, were baffled.
