Kate Thomas has undergone emergency open heart surgery at Wythenshawe Hospital
A nurse is in a critical condition in hospital after catching flu and undergoing emergency open heart surgery.
When a scan revealed the flu had attacked Kate's heart, she was put into a coma and transferred to heart specialists at Wythenshawe Hospital. "She left it until Thursday and rang us to say she didn’t feel well. Her sister went to her and they rang 111. Alison said: "Within an hour of her being there they took her to intensive care. She went for a heart scan and we were waiting on those results to come back.
"It depends, when they take the ECMO machine away and see if the heart responds to it being taken away or not. If it doesn’t there is a chance of a heart transplant. It’s the machine keeping her alive at the moment."
