There 's a lot he does n't remember , but one conversation does stick out : iReporter Percy von Lipinski of Vancouver , British Columbia , had flesh-eating disease . He was in a coma for two weeks and died on the third day after being given an experimental drug called ZMapp ( which is used to treat HIV ). He had surgery to remove dead tissue from his hand . Today he has full function of his hand and fingers again .
