re: More about Sepsis, probably the best article I have read about, worth its own thread IMO

I learned sepsis was no joke a few years back.
My BIL went to urgent care thinking he had Covid back then. Sent to ER and was in septic shock hours later. Mid 40s healthy dude. Was in the hospital for almost a year with multiple bouts of multiple organ failure. We thought it was over for him more than once.
He survived but is a handicapped shell of himself. And will likely need transplants in the not too distant future.

I never heard of nobody getting "sepsis" before "that" shot. Really makes you think!
I always thought sepsis was something really old people or sick babies got.

The medical profession saved my life. I had strep toxic shock that led to sepsis. The infectious disease guy figured it out. The infection likes to hide in joints. In my case that was the knee. Kidneys shut down, 3 surgeries on the knee to debride it.
What were your symptoms?

My FIL worked for Bake Hughes,
Primarily in Indonesia but also occasionally in China, New Guinea etc. Generally did a die months on few months off rotation. He had just rotated back to Indo and had been complaining about stomach issues before he left. Nothing new. Dude either always had a Miller lite in his hand or a bottle of pepto. He had been gone about a week when my MIL got a call that he had not reported for work and when they sent someone to his house to check on him they found him unconscious. They rushed him to local hospital but he was already in a coma. They quickly realized he was fighting some kind of infection and it was shutting his organs down. Before they could get it under control he died. Afterwards they found he had an ulcer that had gotten infected and ruptured. The infection spread quickly and that is what was shutting his organs down. Doctor told my MIL that if he would have come in even one day earlier, that it would have been easily treatable. That was 24 years ago. He was 52. Same age I am now. He was a huge Saints and Tigers fan and died in 2002. He missed 3 football nattys and Saints Super Bowl. Only saw 1of his 5 grandkids born and obviously none of his 9 great grandkids. Very sad.

Yeah no it doesn’t lol people get sepsis quite frequently, especially the elderly and individuals with compromised immune systems. You would be surprised how common mrsa is in nursing homes
