Officials of the Koppal district hospital said that this is the first case in the state to recover from the Covid infection after 158 days of long treatment. Doctors said that if 80 percent of the lungs are affected during the Kovid infection, then the chances of survival of the patients are less.
Geeta Bai’s lungs were 96 percent infected. He was admitted to the District Government Hospital on July 3 in a bad condition and his health was deteriorating day by day. Doctors took it as a challenge and treated it.
Usually, Kovid patients come out of the ventilator for a week to 90 days if the situation is serious. Geeta Bai, who spent 104 days on a ventilator, uses 10 liters of oxygen daily. Even as she has been discharged now, Geeta Bai is facing breathing problems and needs oxygen support.
Dr Venugopal, a senior doctor supervising the treatment, said that medical treatment would be more effective if the patient is optimistic and shows courage in all situations. Even after five months of hospitalization, the patient did not lose hope and found a new life. Geeta Bai is a healthy person who was not suffering from diabetes or any other disease.
Geeta Bai got infected with Corona after coming back from the village fair. Initially, he was treated at home and by the time he was admitted to the hospital, he was having severe breathing problems.
