Avoidable sepsis infections send thousands to gruesome deaths

No one tracks sepsis cases closely enough to know how often these severe infections turn fatal, but the toll is enormous.

Shana Dorsey first caught sight of the purplish wound on her father’s lower back as he lay in a suburban Chicago hospital bed a few weeks before his death.Her father, Willie Jackson, had grimaced as nursing aides turned his frail body, exposing the deep skin ulcer, also known as a pressure sore or bedsore.

Yes, not only did my husband have a UTI that was left untreated, his back had many pressure sores. Both lead to SEPSIS. Again left untreated. Great job St. Josephs said NO-ONE EVER!
