A woman spent two months in a coma and woke up blind after contracting food poisoning after eating at a fast-food restaurant. Team GB cyclist Lizzie Jordan contracted E.Coli as a 19-year-old student in 2017.
She said: "I had a very strange immune reaction to the food poisoning - my sister also had the same poisoning but she didn't have the same, very strange immune reaction to it. I ended up suffering multiple organ failure and I was on full-life support."
Lizzie, now 25, was in a coma for eight weeks, reports SurreyLive. She made a "miraculous comeback" following the trial use of an ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machine funded by Barts Charity.
