Sepsis: The Common Cause of Death You've Never Heard Of

Charles Summerour was traveling for business when he acquired an everyday infection that almost killed him.

After initially ignoring the symptoms of what turned out to be a urinary tract infection (UTI), the 54-year-old journalist began to feel markedly worse as the day wore on. He sought medical attention from a doctor, who promptly sent him to the hospital.Within hours of being admitted, Summerour’s blood pressure had dropped to dangerous levels, his kidneys were failing and his body was slipping into a little-known but very deadly condition called septic shock.

My husband also had a Urinary tract infection, but the Doctors at the Hellhole Hospital in Nashua that we once trusted (Big Mistake, cost my Husband his life), said they didn't know what kind of infection he had or where it was. He was denied antibiotics and developed Sepsis and was again,  denied antibiotics for the Sepsis!
