I was one of the first 25,000 known COVID-19 cases in the United States in early March 2020 and was lucky enough to find a doctor who thought outside the box. He successfully treated me—possibly saving my life—against the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As I was the first adult COVID-19 case my doctor—a pediatrician—had treated, he documented my progress and submitted his findings to the CDC, the World Health Organization (WHO), and a network of 26,000 doctors. He also shared them in a Facebook post.
