Docs share patient’s miracle COVID-19 survival: UK

The middle-aged patient made it through 118 days on a ventilator and several bouts of sepsis

Doctors are sharing the story of a UK man who survived COVID-19 against the odds, to inspire colleagues not to give up on patients too early, even when the prognosis looks “bleak”.

The 53-year-old man, who spent 118 days on a ventilator, had a number of comorbidities that made his survival “unlikely”, say doctors from the Hammersmith Hospital in London.
