Georg Dorfmuller had hardly been sick during a career that saw him rise to become a top paediatric neurosurgeon in Paris, but all that changed when he contracted COVID-19.

“We were careful with those that were suspected of having COVID, but the others who tested negative and their families, we didn’t take too much notice. I think we got it then because three or four colleagues had it at the same time.” Weakened by the illness, he is now undergoing a rehabilitation programme at the Park Hospital of Taverny on the edge of a forest to the north of Paris.
“You’ve got more years to work, so take a rest and look after yourself first,” he told Reuters amid a physiotherapy session aimed at restoring his muscle strength and easing his breathing.
