A woman who caught covid has had to have her hands amputated and is now encouraging other people to receive the vaccine. Autumn Nugent was keen to share her story this week after being fitted with prosthetic legs, after suffering from blood clots as a result of contracting coronavirus last year.
The mum-of-three shared a video with her doctor of her trying her new prosthetic limbs, who says covid took her arms and feet but he has been so impressed by her resilience and mental strength to keep going.
Dr Wesley Ely confessed he was reduced to tears when he saw the video 32-year-old Autumn sent him. The doctor from Nashville, Tennessee said: Covid took her hands and feet.
