While the number of people who have died of corona disease is rising, another figure, and encouraging, is being ignored - and it is the number of people who are recovering from the serious illness. Zvi Michaeli, a 58-year-old man with no background illnesses whose condition has worsened following the deadly virus, and even connected to an "ACMO" device that is saved for the most difficult cases, is an example of how the disease can be recovered.

Michaeli was transported from the ICU to the Internal Department on Tuesday evening (Tuesday), breathing on his own after two weeks of connection to the soul instruments at Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, to which he was in serious condition. Already last week, the intensive care physician team weaned deer from the ACMU and in recent days also from the respirator.  

Zvi, who is in continuous contact with his family, said of the treatment he received and thanked the doctors team "They saved my life. I already feel better and hope to continue strengthening and release soon." His family added: "We would like to thank the Crown Intensive Care Team led by Dr. Philip Levine, and Dr. Yigal Halevitz for the dedicated care, communication and daily reporting, the hard work and dedication. To see the improvement in his condition. "

 Dr. Philip Levine, intensive care manager at Gates of Justice, said of the challenging case: "Deer have reached the gates of justice with severe respiratory failure. Support for the ventilator was not enough for deer, so it was connected to the ACMU. After a sustained recovery in his health, we were able to disconnect it from the ACMU and after a few days also from the ventilator. We have since seen continued improvement in his condition and are very happy about that. "

Director of the Corona Patients Intensive Care Unit, Dr. Yigal Halevitz added, "The connection to the ACMU enabled us to stabilize Zvi's condition and prevent his respiratory system from collapsing. Continued improvement in his condition allows us cautious optimism to continue his recovery process. "
