Chandraben Khachar
Rajkot: It was her sheer will to live that helped 50-year-old Chandraben Khachar beat coronavirus despite 80% infection in her lungs.
Khachar, a resident Aandapur village in Jasdan taluka of Rajkot had tested positive for Covid-19 last month. According to doctors, her condition was critical as her CRP score was 272 against 5 in a normal case. Her D-dimer reading had shot up to 4,200, which under normal circumstances should have been 500. CRP and D-dimer are inflammation and blood clot markers respectively.
Since she did not get a bed in Rajkot, she was taken to a private hospital in Surendrangar where doctors told the family that there was little hope of her survival.
