An intensive care nurse at the Royal Melbourne Hospital has gone above the call of duty, personally tracking down The Wiggles to help save his patient suffering from COVID-19.
Sarah Kelly, who has Down syndrome, is on track to getting out of hospital after watching the how-to message from her favourite musical group.
When the 22-year-old was admitted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital struggling to breathe with COVID-19 last month, she refused to have oxygen tubes put in.

"She had it on her iPad, she just wouldn't look away from The Wiggles and I thought to myself 'what if I could get The Wiggles to wear the nasal prongs? Would she copy them and do what they do?'" he told 9News.

"That's what we needed for her to stay alive," he said.
