Father not waking up after septic shock
My beloved Dad (72) survived a severe septic shock. They called us 3 Weeks ago after a routine bile surgery and told us that he is now in the ICU. They told us he had internal bleeding and they needed to perform surgery on him. We were shocked and prayed that night that everything would go well. He survived

The surgeon said to continue the blood thinners for a year. I was originally treated at Luton and Dunstable hospital (L&D), and the

I had my op 11 months ago and would
