NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - St. Bernard Parish Fire Department District Chief Rory Miller was admitted to Ochsner North Shore earlier this month. He’s been battling COVID-19 and complications from the infection since.
Now he’s paralyzed from the waist down.
He says doctors diagnosed him with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which they believe was triggered by COVID.
“I think this is even worse than the COVID battle because I walked in here but I’m not walking out because I lost my legs, I’m currently paralyzed,” said Miller.
