Florida's Fourth Estate - Stacie and Kevin Rathel Discuss Contracting COVID 19




Florida’s Fourth Estate show

Summary: We know the coronavirus can be deadly but there are many people who recover from it. This week on Florida's Fourth Estate we speak with a man whose story of survival is nothing short of a miracle. Kevin Rathel was in a coma when he was treated with convalescent plasma therapy. Rathel was the first patient at Orlando Health to be infused with convalescent plasma from a man who had already recovered from the virus. We hear his first hand account of the harrowing toll COVID-19 took on him. From vivid nightmares to losing thirty pounds he speaks to us about what life is like now during the recovery phase. He also tells us even though he was in a coma, he was very clear about one thing that was happening in his hospital room on a regular basis. Join us for a candid conversation with Kevin and his wife Stacie on this weeks edition of Florida's Fourth Estate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
