Paddy said: “The doctors and nurses were all around me.
“I felt like I was paralysed in my body because I couldn’t do anything.
“I couldn’t raise my hand, my head or even speak. I had no strength. The doctors were putting all these drips in me and I thought ‘this is it’.”
He continued: “They gave me some drugs and said if they didn’t work I’d have to go on a ventilator and that I had a 50/50 chance of survival but they told me they thought I could beat it.”
He said that he “saw death right before” himself as he continued: “You’re looking at people and they’re coming in and then being rolled out and you’re saying ‘he’s not made it, he’s not made it, he’s not made it.”
Paddy admitted he thought he “was a goner” and that his “number was up”.
