In what doctors are describe as an “amazing” recovery, Bruno Iozzo of Toronto is now recovering in rehab after spending 104 days in the Humber River Hospital intensive care unit with COVID-19.
SHAREIn late March, the healthy 73-year-old man was among the first COVID-19 patients admitted to the Humber River Hospital in Toronto. For the next 104 days, Iozzo would fight the infection in the hospital’s intensive care unit., when his daughter Gisella was unsure whether her father would survive the infection.
“It's amazing because he's so positive and he's so motivated that he really wants to do well and we know that he's going to do well.” “It's a great feeling to see someone who was that sick, go through a severe critical illness on life support to the point where we were not sure that they were going to survive,” said Manocha.
“By seeing someone, leave the ICU and surviving this, it actually puts faith back into what we do on a day-to-day basis for all of our patients,” he said. “This, I think, will help the team recognize that their efforts are not vain.” “It's just incredible for him to speak, for him to see what he's gone through and be able to tell his story and to hug me,” she said.
