A Norfolk doctor found a treatment for sepsis. Now he's trying to get the ICU world to listen.

A Norfolk doctor found a treatment for sepsis. Now he's trying to get the ICU world to listen. | Health & Medicine | pilotonline.com:

The patient was dying.Valerie Hobbs, 53, was in the throes of sepsis – an infection coursing through her veins that was causing her blood pressure to tank, her organs to fail and her breathing to flag.“When you have a person that young who’s going to die, you start thinking, ‘What else can we pull out of the bag?’ ” said Dr. Paul Marik, who was on duty that day in the intensive care unit of Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.
In this case, he reached for Vitamin C!
The rest of the Hospitals need to get their shit together instead of just killing people off!
