ID Care: What is sepsis?:
HILLSBOROUGH - Sepsis is a serious medical condition that is often considered an emergency. It is our body’s reaction and response to an infection.More than 1.5 million people get sepsis in the U.S. every year. Sepsis starts from an infection that usually comes from our skin, lungs, kidneys or stomach/bowel system. When the infection can’t be controlled, it leads to sepsis. Without prompt treatment, sepsis can lead to injury to our organs that can be permanent. Death also can occur. About 250,000 Americans die from sepsis every year, and one out of every three deaths that happen in the hospital setting is from sepsis.
If you want treatment for Sepsis, stay away from St. Josephs Hospital in Nashua. Sepsis Central!

Pin-Prick Blood Test Spots Deadly Sepsis: Study
Pin-Prick Blood Test Spots Deadly Sepsis: Study | Newsmax.com:
Scientists on Monday unveiled a quick, cheap way to detect sepsis, a life-threatening condition in which the body is attacked by its own immune system.
In clinical trials at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the researchers -- analysing a single drop of blood with a thumb-size filtering device -- singled out sepsis patients in a matter of hours with 95 percent accuracy.
My husband wasn't so lucky. The Hellhole Hospital in Nashua, NH said he had an infection but they didn't know what it was or where it was, so they denied him life saving antibiotics. Lab results show he had a UTI, left untreated which turned into Sepsis. Again, he was denied Antibiotics. They didn't even have the decency to tell us he had and died of SEPSIS. Pretty sad, we had to hear it from the Undertaker!

Euthanasia Prevention Coalition: Behind the Curtain of Assisted Suicide Advocacy
Euthanasia Prevention Coalition Euthanasia Prevention Coalition: Behind the Curtain of Assisted Suicide Advocacy:
The United States assisted suicide movement claims that it wants only a limited “reform” of law and medical ethics, restricting what it euphemistically calls “aid in dying” to competent adults with terminal illnesses for whom nothing else can be done to alleviate their suffering. But this claim isn’t true. Currently, no law permitting doctors to write lethal prescriptions mandates any objective medical determination that the patient is actually suffering. Indeed, a 2008 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that patients sometimes receive lethal prescriptions even when they are not experiencing serious pain or other noxious symptoms.

FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for blood infection test
FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for blood infection test:
The FDA’s drive to accelerate access to new medical device technologies continues, with a new product from 3i Diagnostics receiving a Breakthrough Device Designation.
While the US regulator first launched the similar Breakthrough Therapy Designation for innovative medicines six years ago, the similar fast-track for devices was formalised in late 2017.
