Emma Doherty was told she had just 0.02 per cent chance of survival
A young woman who was left fighting for her life after a flesh-eating disease destroyed her limbs and stomach has spoken of her recovery journey.
Emma revealed that social services placed her in a care home, where every day she would see residents who had died from Covid being taken away, before being offered accommodation at a Blackpool B&B on the Promenade. This was also unsuitable as her wheelchair, which she is now confined to, couldn't fit through the door.
"It's been horrific and I know that I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my mum," Emma told LancsLive. "They told her I had just a 0.02 per cent chance of survival when I was in the coma but she refused to let them turn off the machines keeping me alive."
