‘The world stopped’: Young doctor’s shocking coronavirus death


The family of a young doctor are mourning after her fight with COVID-19 took a sudden heartbreaking turn and her brain shut down.

Dr Adeline Fagan worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, in the US state of Texas. At just 28, she was undertaking the second year of a residency in the dream job where she would routinely deliver babies.

During the pandemic while on rotation in the emergency room she found herself working 12-hour shifts looking after coronavirus patients, according to her family who set-up a GoFundMe page during her two-month battle with COVID-19.
“What started as intense flu-like symptoms escalated within the week to a hospital stay. Adeline spent the next few weeks battling COVID and was treated with several different respiratory therapies and put on dozens of drugs,” her sister, Maureen, wrote.

“When there was no positive response to these methods of treatment Adeline decided to begin an experimental drug trial. However, before we could see if this new drug was effective, her lungs could no longer support her.”
