It started after a doctor, known for smoking very pungent cigars, passed away. What followed was a series of inexplicable events where the smell of these strong cigars would fill the air just minutes before a serious medical event occurred. This scent became a sort of unofficial warning sign for the staff, prompting them to check on every patient and call in resuscitation staff if the smell was detected.
