'Dying to live' - Grant McIntyre

At the start of 2020, Grant McIntyre was a fit and healthy 49-year-old. The year had started unusually, with reports of a new virus sweeping across the world. At the end of March, life changed suddenly for the McIntyre family as Grant tested positive for COVID-19 and was admitted to hospital. As the days passed, the situation became progressively worse. Grant's body went into a cytokine storm and this immune response nearly killed him. He suffered multi-organ failure, a collapsed lung and sepsis, spending fifty days on ECMO life support which no one, not even the doctors, expected him to survive. As his condition deteriorated, death looked almost certain. This is theinspiringstory of his journey back to life.
