Broadcaster Richard Bacon thanked the NHS for saving his life after sharing a picture from his hospital bed. In 2018 the presenter, born in Mansfield, was taken to Lewisham Hospital, South-East London, and was put into a medically induced coma.
The 47-year-old shared a picture with fans of him in a hospital bed and wrote: "Thanks for everything you did for me 5 years ago today NHS. Thanks to the 40 people at Lewisham who saved me. Especially my consultant Vic Happy 75th. Couldn’t do it* without you (*Live) The NHS treats more than a million people a day. We’ve all got our stories."
As Birmingham Live reports, fans rushed to the comments to share support for Richard. Graham replied: "People saved you, not the institution."
