A nurse is fighting for her life in hospital after a nasty bout of the flu led to her undergoing open- heart surgery. Kate Thomas, 33, underwent the emergency procedure last week and remains in a coma, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The 33-year-old's decline in health began when she fell ill with cold symptoms around a fortnight ago. Kate initially had a cold and a cough but her symptoms began to ease before getting worse, according to her mum Alison Thomas.
She said: "About two weeks ago she had a cough and a cold, with the usual cold symptoms. Then it kind of got better after a week, but it then got worse.
