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

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.

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.

Had a good friend died of sepsis in January.He had bladder cancer and a biopsy was done,developed sepsis.
Sepsis is very common,when I worked ICU we almost always had a pt.in the unit with sepsis.

Often,by the time they got to the hospital it was too late to turn it around.

My mother recovered from sepsis but she was never the same and died a few months later. Sepsis took my father four days ago, although he was already weak from heart failure. The sepsis was just the last straw.

Surprised so many people have never heard of sepsis before Kyle Bush

I was fully aware of sepsis. Never heard of it developing from pneumonia. Always thought of it as being associated with a bad cut or puncture wound. Something entailing an injury to your epithelium or bone fracture. But a sinus infection?

Here we are on page 3 and no one has mentioned how awesome it would be if a pioneering university research and development team developed a test for sepsis.

Oh, wait . . . .

And you shouldn’t. They’re basically highly educated car mechanics that treat your symptoms by trial and error. They never actually cure anything.
And especially if you’re older, watch out. Because once they get their hooks into you, it’s procedure after procedure and then you die. But they will milk your insurance to death and make your quality of life terrible in your last few years.

Their main motivation is of course, money. I saw it firsthand two years ago. I had the same thing Kyle Busch had. Pneumonia turned into sepsis, 3 days in ICU, but I was lucky and survived. Strange thing is I didn’t feel terrible before I went to the hospital.

I find it unbelievable that in the year 2026 where we’re constantly told how advanced medicine is and to trust science that something like this could even happen. I doubt I’ll ever be able to trust the corrupt US medical professional again at this point.

I have no words. You don’t deserve this. I’m sorry.

Sepsis is like a kitchen fire that triggers sprinklers throughout an entire building.

It's rampant in hospitals thanks to anti-bacterial cleaning products. Should have stuck with bleach.

Mother died of a sepsis infection because COVID "rules" required a hospital stay of 7 days for elderly.
No telling how many elderly folks died because of it.

Sepsis is no joke

Even worse is dealing with family who want to accuse your facility of neglecting their elderly father who had vascular dementia for several years but acquires sepsis while living at home with family due to having a uti
