A COVID-19 patient who said he was “brought back from the edge of death” was released from the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport, Wales, on April 29. Scott Howell, who was the first COVID-19 patient in the hospital’s intensive care unit, said his heart stopped twice while he was receiving treatment. Howell told BBC Wales: "I was reading the nurses’ notes. When they put the tracheotomy in, it said ‘Your heart stopped and we performed CPR because your oxygen levels just dropped out.’ I thought, Oh, my goodness, I could have died.” In video uploaded by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, Howell is applauded by hospital staff as he is wheeled out of the ward. Royal Gwent’s Intensive Care Consultant Dr Dave Hepburn said: “Scott was as ill as anybody can be, so to see him leaving hospital has been a massive lift for staff across the Health Board.” Credit: Aneurin Bevan University Health Board via Storyful
