Kent consultant left breathless after long Covid climbs mountain

“I just couldn’t do anything. My husband was having to give me baths and care for me every day,” said Dr Athmaja Thottungal, of her experience with Long Covid.

The anaesthesia and pain management consultant at East Kent Hospitals caught the virus at the height of the pandemic in December 2020, and was treated by a hospital team at home.

While bedbound for two and a half months, the 52-year-old was nearly intubated, and feared she was going to die.

But the specialist, who helped to set up a Long Covid group for staff across the NHS trust, has now scaled a mountain 18,400ft (5,600m) above sea level.
