Case study: Michael - Coronavirus Survivor


00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,440
I was feeling sick. I had a temperature.


00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,200
And um, uh, I was um, already having breathing issues.


00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,468
And so, went to the fever clinic.


00:00:09,468 --> 00:00:12,480
Tested positive for corona.


00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,200
And so, I, I got worse.


00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:22,339
Um, I got so bad that I had to call an ambulance and I ended up being admitted.


00:00:22,339 --> 00:00:24,487
It was – it was like drowning.


00:00:24,487 --> 00:00:27,563
I have coughing fits that go for one to two minutes.


00:00:27,563 --> 00:00:33,560
I developed pneumonia, anemia, and I also developed, uh, nerve damage.


00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,480
I think two days after I was intubated, I was put in induced coma.


00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:42,480
The doctors thought that I was going to, uh, basically that I was going to die.


00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,680
Well I was asleep, and I - I didn’t know that my wife got sick.


00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,332
And her mum, who got corona, most likely from her.


00:00:50,332 --> 00:00:53,241
Uhh, and then, passed away.


00:00:53,241 --> 00:00:58,480
It, it breaks my heart that, um, I wasn’t there for her,


00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,880
while she was grieving her mum.


00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:07,800
After being in hospital for 72 days, I know how it affected me, and members of my family.
