A "super fit" Welsh teenager who spent ten days in a coma after contracting the flu virus said he will be "forever grateful" to medics for saving his life. Jack Hollingsworth, 19, was rushed to the emergency department at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor after he became seriously ill at his home in Llangristiolus, Anglesey.
His condition was life-threatening, and doctors urgently recommended for him to be placed into a coma and cared for in the Intensive Care Unit. One month on from the terrifying ordeal, Jack's mum Claire Hollingsworth spoke to North Wales Live about her son's deterioration on December 15 last year.
She said that the teenager had been unwell for a few days and at first they thought it was a "bad cold" or possibly Covid. But the Covid test came back negative and towards the end of the week he became more unwell, with a "very high temperature and a very fast heart rate".
