A woman who had been due to get married last year when she was diagnosed with coronavirus is now learning to walk again after 13 months in hospital. Rachel Booth, 38, an occupational therapist at Middlesbrough's Roseberry Park Hospital, described how she was left 'suicidal' after she was diagnosed with life-threatening pancreatitis and Covid-19 last year. The bride-to-be, from Linthorpe, Teesside, had been preparing for her wedding when she began to experience excruciating heartburn at work in April last year. She was rushed to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough and immediately placed on the intensive care unit (ICU) after staff determined she had both acute pancreatitis and Covid.
