Hi Daz, I agree it is a terrible waste of a life.

Hospitals here are trained to be aware of sepsis. It is just over a year when I was diagnosed with the symptoms of sepsis....high temperature, low blood pressure, sickness and then shock caused by an infection....I had never felt so ill even when I had pneumonia years ago.

I was treated quickly with intravenous antibiotics, luckily my daughter was with me when I went into shock and rang 999

Hi knitter Cheers thanks for reply.

Yes we all have to be vigilant ... I to had sepsis even had rash on shoulder I just put down to clothes or friction

Is very sad how it can be prevented but people are needlessly still dieing
