Seventhirty the next morning Catrina arrived at the institute She was met at the check in desk by Dr. Leslie Atkins. She took her for a tour of the facility. Every room was white just like the outside of the building. On the side of the building it was an outside seating area with a roof. Catrina thought it was pretty but would be cold in the winter. She then noticed it had white roll down walls to cover the area when it was cold. She mummble something to herself out loud and Dr. Atkins heard her and replied every evening after visitation hours we close this off with these roll down locking doors. In one room it resembled just like an operating room at a regular hospital. Dr. Atkins told her that room is where the new patient comes tobegin the vitirification begins.
She enplained the process begins at the regular hospital for patients that join the cryonic facility then when something happens to them and they go into the hospital and their heart stops then a specialized medical team stablizes the patient's body supplying the brain with enough oxygen and blood to preserve minimal function until the body is ready to be transported to their facility. The team packs the body in ice and injected with a drug called Heparin to prevent the blood from clotting during the tripThen the body is transported by ambulance to their facility. The body comes through the back door just outside of the vitirification room and pushed into the vitirification room where there is a team of doctors and staff waiting for the patient and that is where the actual freezing beginsThe team removes the water from the patients cells and replaces it with a glyceral based chemical mixture called acryoprotectant you could call a human antifreezeto protect the organs and tissues from forming ice crytals and puts the cells into a state of suspended animation. If this process was eliminated for some reason the water in the body would freeze and shatter.and damage the body's organs and tissues
