Anon,

 

Since by now you are a highly qualified COVID doctor, I'd like to ask for a consultation and request your medical opinion on this case recently encountered in Taiwan:.

 

The person you see on the stretcher in the attached photo is a 40-year-old man surnamed Liu (劉), who was undergoing home COVID care in Taoyuan City.

 

At around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Liu was playing with his son in a bedroom when he suddenly collapsed to the floor.

 

His wife quickly called 119 for help and after paramedics arrived on the scene, they rushed him to a nearby hospital. Before Liu arrived at the hospital, he had already stopped breathing and did not have a pulse. Once at the hospital, doctors attempted to resuscitate Liu but were unsuccessful and declared him dead.

 

According to Liu's wife, he had recently complained of increased physical discomfort. Police filed a report with the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office and forensic pathologists to commence an investigation into his death. Based on Liu's COVID symptoms and the manner in which he died, the preliminary conclusion by officials of Liu's cause of death was psychogenic (mental or emotional conflict) shock.

 

Liu reportedly had mild symptoms and had also been vaccinated. Prior to collapsing on the floor, Liu had stated that he was very grateful to be vaccinated and boosted.

 

This is our first COVID patient to date that has succumbed to psychogenic shock as a complication to COVID. Have you encountered any such cases in your area?
