Per the local CBS affiliate, Dr. Ryann Padgett—an emergency room employee at Evergreen Health in Kirkland, Washington—was hospitalized last month after contracting COVID-19.
"In matter of 24 hours he went from breathing on oxygen to requiring a ventilator and some advanced therapies. From there he continued to get worse," Dr. Matt Hartman of Swedish First Hill campus said

Padgett's lungs and kidneys started to fail him. After exhausting all options, doctors decided to try an experimental treatment with the medicine tocilizumab. Tocilizumab (brand name Actemra) is currently approved by the FDA to treat rheumatoid arthritis.

Doctors started to see improvements in Padgett's condition in four to five days. He was then taken off the machines and able to return home. "He had a really rapid improvement," Hartman said. "It was wonderful to see—the team is ecstatic."
