A nurse has paid an emotional tribute to colleagues who saved her life after she spent three days on a ventilator battling Covid-19. Staff at the University Hospital of North Tees in Stockton cheered and clapped as Millie Magadlela, a nurse of 39 years’ experience, was taken out of intensive care and put on a general ward. “I felt awful.”She called 111 and an ambulance took her to the hospital where she works, and following checks she was eventually moved onto intensive care. “In my 39 years as a nurse I have never been in hospital as a patient, I’ve always been fit and healthy. “It has given staff a huge morale boost at such an important time.”PA Media
