An EvergreenHealth Medical Center physician who became infected with COVID-19 in early March, spent more than two weeks on a ventilator and received novel treatments during what he described as a “brush with death,” is now at home recovering.
“You realize there are times in life that it’s completely out of control and you have to put your trust and faith in another person’s hands,” Dr. Ryan Padgett said in an interview Monday after receiving treatment at EvergreenHealth in Kirkland and Swedish Medical Center.
