Thankfully, Mark recovered. He doesn& #39;t remember anything until about two days after leaving ICU. His recovery is so remarkable that his medical records will be used for research purposes across the world.

His bowel fully rejuvenated. He says it& #39;s never happened before and that& #39;s why his medical records are so valuable.

His family were very careful with hand hygiene and they believe that& #39;s why they didn& #39;t contract it.

Mark can& #39;t thank the staff at St. Vincent& #39;s enough. He has set up a gofundme page for them. https://www.gofundme.com/f/front-line-heroestvincents">https://www.gofundme.com/f/front-l...
