Love Island’s DrAlexGeorge backs The Sun’s Who Cares Wins appeal after NHS medics saved his life in sepsis hell
He said: “I’d just finished a shift in A&E when I realised I had become more and more unwell.
“I cycled home and really struggled. I had a shower and realised I was very sick indeed. I got myself over to nearby St Thomas’ Hospital . “I looked awful and felt as though I was going to collapse. I got seen very quickly by the ER nurse who rushed me into resus where I received intravenous antibiotics, fluids and treatment.Dr Alex battled deadly sepsis, which left him bed-bound for several days and in need of urgent treatmentAlex, who works at South London’s Lewisham Hospital, says the experience underlined for him the NHS’s importance.“But they didn’t let me back until I had recovered properly.
Praising the courage of frontline medics during the current crisis, he added: “Times are tough but in the NHS we roll up our sleeves and get on with it.“Our resus department has seven or eight beds and in just one hour we can have multiple ambulances coming in with critically ill patients of all ages.
“Of course we see more of the vulnerable categories and the elderly but I’ve seen plenty in their twenties and thirties. Loads of them are fit and well, without underlying health conditions. So this idea you’re immune to being unwell if you are young and fit isn’t true.”
