More than a month before she died, Rana Zoe Mungin reportedly tried multiple times to get treatment for what she feared were COVID-10 symptoms, and was turned away
Photo: Rana Zoe Mungin/ wellesleyunderground.com Rana Zoe Mungin, a 30-year-old teacher from East New York, died on April 27 due to complications from the coronavirus. She had been on a ventilator at Mount Sinai Hospital. But more than a month earlier, she reportedly tried multiple times to get treatment for what she feared were coronavirus symptoms, and was turned away. On March 20, she called 911, unable to breathe, and was taken to the hospital. She passed away less than six weeks later.
Mungin first started feeling sick on March 12, her sister Mia, a registered nurse who works in home health care, told PIX 11 last month. She went to the hospital on March 15 with shortness of breath, fever, and cough, all of which are officially on the CDC’s list of the most common coronavirus symptoms. Instead of being tested, Mia told PIX 11, Mungin was treated for an asthma attack and received a shot for her headache.
Mia tweeted gut-wrenching updates about Mungin’s ordeal as she lay in her hospital bed. After several public appeals by family and friends, Mungin was eventually transferred from Brookdale to Mount Sinai for specialized treatment. Her condition seemed to be improving before it suddenly declined. “She fought a long fight but her body was too weak,” Mia wrote on Twitter on Monday.
