DUPAGE COUNTY, Ill. (WLS) -- Jason Barbosa met the doctor who saved his life for the first time Monday.
In fact, the last time Dr Jeffrey Huml treated Barbosa, he was unconscious; COVID-19 forced him into a coma for six weeks.
Barbosa said his entire body shut down and the virus nearly killed him on several occasions.
"They told my family to say goodbye to me three times. They told them they were gonna disconnect me," he said.
But Barbosa survived and is on the long road to recovery.
"I am amazed. This is truly a miracle," said Dr. Huml of Northwestern Medicine.
