doctor 03Two Chinese doctors who were infected with the coronavirus while treating patients in the epicenter city of Wuhan survived the deadly illness - but their skin turned very dark after they were placed on life support.
 

Dr. Yi Fan and Dr. Hu Weifeng, both 42, were both diagnosed with COVID-19 on Jan. 18 while working at the Wuhan Central Hospital.
 

The gravely ill physicians were taken to the Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital and then transferred twice.

The two men’s changed skin color was attributed to a hormonal imbalance after their livers were damaged by the bug.
 

But one doctor suspected that their skin turned dark due to a specific drug they received at the beginning of their treatment.
 

Yi, a cardiologist, was hooked up to an ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) life support machine for 39 days.
 

The machine, which is similar to the heart-lung bypass machine used in open-heart surgery, pumps and oxygenates a patient’s blood outside the body.

Hu, a urologist, has been bedridden for 99 days and is still very weak after undergoing ECMO therapy from Feb. 7 to March 22, according to his physician, Dr. Li Shusheng.
 

He only regained his ability to speak on April 11, said Li, who added that the doctors’ normal color is expected to return when their liver functions improve.
 

两医生感染,被救回后皮肤却变黑

近日,两位武汉医生被人工肺(ECMO)救回了生命,但"面容变黑",受到网友广泛关注。4月23日华中科技大学同济医学院附属同济医院传来噩耗,让网友为其揪心。
 

该院救治的武汉市中心医院泌尿外科副主任医师"面容变黑"的胡卫锋22日晚出现脑出血症状,"目前情况非常不好"。
 

4月20日,武汉同济医院急诊与重症医学科主任李树生在采访中还表示,胡卫锋医生目前成功脱离呼吸机10天了,呼吸问题在慢慢恢复。

当时,胡卫锋已经卧床99天了,身体整个状况还是比较虚弱,但医护人员努力帮胡卫锋进行康复治疗,包括身体和心理两方面的治疗,情况应该一天一天好起来。然而这突如其来的噩耗,网友大呼揪心,纷纷为其祈祷,希望会有奇迹降临。
