Survivor of rare complication becomes student nurse at hospital that saved her life: 'Very surreal'

Just minutes after giving birth, a young mother slipped into a coma. Her family was unsure if she'd ever wake up.

But now, a year later, Ashley Zinn has not only made a remarkable recovery, but she’s also returning to the very same hospital on a mission.

"I grabbed my doctor's arm and I said, ‘I'm dying’,” said Ashley. “I feel like I'm dying.”

Last year, Ashley and her husband were expecting their first child together. But minutes after giving birth, the 29-year-old almost never met Parker.

“Everything kind of just unraveled from there,” Ashley said.

Ashley was quickly placed into a medically induced coma, diagnosed with a rare delivery complication known as an amniotic fluid embolism. She was given just a 30% chance of living.

“Things just got really, really scary,” Ashley said.
