A WOMAN has recounted her harrowing ordeal of being evicted from her home while she was in a coma.

Juliet Iswan, 43, was in intensive care at Bristol Infirmary Hospital last February after suffering from a stroke.

Ms Iswan, who has sickle cell disease, remained in hospital for 10 months until January 2024. For five weeks of her stay, she was in a coma.
