A fit and healthy Sydney GP has described his harrowing brush with COVID-19 that triggered epileptic seizures and permanently scarred his heart.
Dr Lee and his colleagues are baffled by the immense toll of COVID-19 on the 50-year-old - the youngest doctor at his Mosman practice.On April 1, Dr Lee was seeing patients with flu symptoms at the clinic, wearing a face mask and a full-sleeve gown when he noticed he had a mild sore throat.“It didn’t feel like anything, just a scratchy throat,” Dr Lee said in a video posted on Facebook by the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies.
Dr Lee’s timeline corresponds with multiple reports suggesting many COVID-19 patients deteriorate in the second week after first developing symptoms.“This COVID-19 was pretty strange,” Dr Lee said. “I am reasonably young … I race a road bike, I raced for the Sydney cycling club and I raced overseas, I raced in France and I like to think I’m reasonably fit."
About six weeks after he had cleared the virus Dr Lee had an epileptic seizure at work and was hospitalised for four days. A scan of his heart at St Vincent’s Hospital in Darlinghurst found a scar “right down the middle of my heart” - a condition known as myocarditis - “which is part of the virus”, he said.
