Nic Brown, a resident of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, made headlines when he became the first person in his county and one of the first in the United States to be treated for COVID-19 at the Cleveland Clinic. Brown's condition quickly deteriorated, and he was put on a ventilator for eight days as he fought for his life. However, his strong will and the tireless efforts of healthcare professionals helped him eventually recover from the virus. His story serves as a reminder of the seriousness of COVID-19 and the importance of taking preventive measures to avoid infection.
Before Nic Brown left the ICU at the Cleveland Clinic, he wrote a heartfelt note to his caregivers on the window of his room. An excepert of the note read: "Today I leave this ICU a changed person, hopefully for the better, not only because of your medical healing and God's direction and guidance, but with the fact of knowing that there are such wonderful people dedicated to the care and concern of others. God bless each of you." The note has since gone viral and serves as a touching tribute to the healthcare workers who have been on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
