HOT102.7FM radio host, Mark Pilgrim has spent the last two weeks in ICU after he underwent an operation to drain a collapsed lung.
Pilgrim, who is recording each day of his hospital stay and sharing it with followers on Instagram, recently said he was working while in ICU despite the curve balls being thrown at his health bill.
In a recent post he wrote: “Hospital day 15. I’m well enough today to do a voice recording from my ICU bed.
“So the next time you phone a company and it’s my voice asking you to ‘press 1 for sales’, it might be the one I recorded while exposing my bum in the hospital gown. ☺️🤪.”
Supportive followers on his page were amused by the post and flooded him with well wishes.
