As coronavirus continues to wreak havoc in all nooks of the world, a man from Long Island has recently left the hospital after battling the virus for 108 days. After coming out of the hospital, Hafeez Yehman, a 43-year-old man thanked all the hospital staff members, and people started cheering as he started leaving the medical facility.
A four-month-long battle
During his 108-day stay in Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, Yehman underwent intubation for three times, and he had the longest stay of anyone to date at the LIJ.
In order to combat the ravaging effect of the virus, Yehman will be soon sent to a rehabilitation center. It should be noted that no other hospital in New York has treated more coronavirus patients than the LIJ, and the hospital staffs believe that Yehman’s discharge from the facility is undoubtedly a milestone achievement.
