DAN, THANK YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME ON CAMERA, WE ARE HEARING FROM ONE OF THE VICTIMS WHO RECEIVED AN IV BAG DESCRIBED BY PROSECUTORS AS A POISON BOMB. DURING THE TRIAL, WE LEARNED JACK ADLERSTEIN ALMOST DIED FROM THE BAG SECRETLY FILLED WITH DANGEROUS DRUGS BY DOCTOR REYNALDO ORTIZ. HE AND HIS FATHER SPOKE EXCLUSIVELY WITH FOX FOUR'S LAURIE BROWN, AND SHE JOINS US LIVE IN DALLAS. LAURIE CLARICE. JACK ADLERSTEIN IS YOUNG AND FULL OF LIFE, SO IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE HOW CLOSE HE CAME TO ALMOST LOSING HIS LIFE DURING THE TRIAL, HIS DOCTORS TESTIFIED THAT HIS HEART STOPPED BEATING ON THE OPERATING TABLE. JACK ADLERSTEIN TOLD US HOW TRYING OUT HIS FRIEND'S DIRT BIKE ENDED POORLY WITH A MINOR INJURY TO HIS NOSE. AFTER THAT, MY NOSE WAS VERY CROOKED. I DIDN'T REALLY CARE SO MUCH ABOUT IT. MY MOM REALLY CARED, I ALSO COULDN'T BREATHE OUT OF ONE NOSTRIL, BUT I DON'T KNOW. IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS. ADLERSTEIN, 18 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME, DECIDED TO FOLLOW HIS MOM'S ADVICE AND WENT IN FOR SURGERY AT THE BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE SURGICAL IN NORTH DALLAS, AUGUST 24TH, 2022. WHAT HE AND HIS DAD, DAVILLA ADLERSTEIN, DID NOT KNOW IS THE DAY BEFORE JACK'S SURGERY. DOCTOR REYNALDO ORTIZ, AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST. THEY DID NOT KNOW, WAS LATER CAUGHT ON CAMERA SECRETLY FILLING UP LARGE SYRINGES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF DRUGS AND PUTTING THEM IN HIS POCKET. I THOUGHT YOU COULD JUST END THE CASE. THEN THAT WAS ALMOST CERTAINLY THE SYRINGE THAT WENT IN THE BAG THAT ENDED UP IN YOUR ARM. JACK. SIMPLE PROCEDURE SUDDENLY TOOK A TURN. HIS SURGEON AND ANESTHESIOLOGIST TESTIFIED. THEY FRANTICALLY TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHY HIS HEART RATE SKYROCKETED TO 250 OVER 150 NUMBERS. HIS DOCTOR TESTIFIED HE'D NEVER SEEN BEFORE. HE ALSO HAD FLUID IN HIS LUNGS, AND AT ONE POINT, DOCTORS COULD NO LONGER FEEL HIS PULSE. TURNS OUT ANOTHER DOCTOR, CHAD MARSDEN, HAD SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPEN TO HIS PATIENT DAYS EARLIER. HE CAME BY THE SURGERY CARE TO LOOK AT RECORDS? WHEN HE SAW THE COMMOTION WITH JACK, THE PROVIDENCE THAT WAS INVOLVED IN HIS SHOWING UP AT THE TIME THAT HE DID AND BEING ABLE TO GO OVER TO DOCTOR HUSSAIN AND SAY, I THINK IT'S THE BAG CHANGE. THE BAG IS PROBABLY WHAT SAVED JACK'S LIFE. THERE'S NOT. IT'S NOT REALLY LIKE WORDS TO THINK SOMEONE SAVED YOUR LIFE. BUT EVEN AFTER JACK'S CONDITION STABILIZED AND HIS RECOVERY FROM THE ORDEAL TOOK TIME, THE NEXT 24 HOURS WERE REALLY, REALLY HARD FOR ME AND THEN THERE WAS THIS MOMENT. THEY GAVE ME A CUP OF WATER AND I WAS HOLDING THE CUP OF WATER, AND THEN THEY TOOK IT AWAY AND I WASN'T ABLE TO MOVE MY HAND FOR LIKE HOURS. I WAS LIKE, REALLY LIKE FROZEN. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A REAL FEAR THAT THERE MIGHT BE LASTING NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE. THANKFULLY, JACK FULLY RECOVERED. DAVILLA ADLERSTEIN SAYS IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT DOCTOR MARSDEN. HE'S THE REASON WE HAVE THIS GUY AROUND AND MOST DAYS WE'RE RATHER FOND OF HIM. SO WE'RE WE'RE FOREVER. AND IS THAT THAT'S I MEAN, ALL OF HIS DOCTORS, REALLY. AND AS FOR DOCTOR ORTIZ, JACK IS, AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL, DOESN'T REALLY HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE HOPE DOESN'T HAVE LONG LASTING EFFECTS. BUT SOME OF THE OTHER VICTIMS DO. THIS HAS CHANGED THEIR LIVES. AND IN DOCTOR CASPER'S CASE, IT'S ENDED HER LIFE, I HOPE HE CAN COMPREHEND THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT HE DID AND HE CAN SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE MARINATING IN IT. FRIDAY, A JURY FOUND DOCTOR ORTIZ GUILTY OF ALL TEN COUNTS AGAINST HIM. HE FACES A POTENTIAL SENTENCE
