Sepsis Voices: Lesley Adams
62 year-old Lesley became extra susceptible to infections when she developed common variable immunodeficiency. When Lesley was hospitalised with a broken leg and started deteriorating rapidly, her two daughters, Lorna and Joanna, had to argue fiercely with hospital staff to consider the possibility of infection.
Despite this, hospital staff were reluctant to listen, and Lesley received delayed treatment that almost proved fatal... Lesley’s story underscores the importance of advocating for loved ones and the need for Martha’s Rule, the seeking of a second medical opinion, to be exercised at the soonest possible juncture to help curb medical negligence towards sepsis and help save lives.

    My uncle had abscess never got no treatment refuse go to doctor to get it looked at then he started get confused and rushed to emergency room. I knew it is sepsis beginning stage. They never gave antibiotics time to cure infection out of his blood stream, had 3 surgeries done though they went fine and he was good stable with blood pressure normal, heart rate less than 120 and no fevers then next day he died. They made sepsis worse by put more infection in him than getting it out.

    Really powerful share and very difficult for the family. Lots of lessons here - just picking one out... For those working with children, one of your most powerful tools is the role of basic observations in otherwise 'well' children - pulse, resp rate on top of temperature. Please use these.

    Since recovering from COVID a couple of years ago, my blood oxygen levels drop while both awake and asleep, irrespective of my breathing pattern.

Is this cause for concern (my oxygen dips into the low 80s)?

      @@Azenithf Very interesting. From the data I've seen I don't believe it's prolonged beyond 30 seconds, but rather, just quick valleys that come right back up. It's just strange because I will be in bed about to fall asleep, and my oxygen is only reading 94% even though I'm breathing perfectly.

    I’m 4 months after getting out of hospital, I was in hospital for over 5 weeks with septic shock and respiratory failure from MRSA-pneumonia and I was put in a medical coma for two weeks at the beginning and I was on a powerful for rheumatoid arthritis and that’s how I got that sick 😢. My stamina is a joke, I can’t freakin sleep, I’m terrified of going to sleep some days, my appetite is starving and no appetite at the same time, I can’t fathom taking any form of immunosuppressant for my rheumatoid arthritis and my stupid rheumatologist is pushing to get me back on one 🤬she completely ignored my concerns about this medication type 😢 I’m not going back to see her again, she can fo. The doctors had to use 3 different pressors at the same time to keep me alive and that did some serious tissue damage to my hands and feet, my feet took the worst of the tissue and nerve damage, but my hands didn’t escape scott free 😢 I have worsening numbness in my right hand thumb, index finger and now the entire back of my right hand is numb, my left hand thumb is missing quite a bit of flesh from dry gangrene, literally half of the cushion on my left thumb is just gone and this causes immense pain from having the bone so close to the surface of my thumb now and holding things in my left hand is a painful bad joke. All of my toes are still mostly numb, with tiny little spots of feeling on 4 out of 10 toes and this makes driving impossible, walking up and down stairs is deadly at best, and my poor right arm can no longer tolerate having blood pressure cuff on trying to take my blood pressure, it only gives extremely low readings and I have to constantly tell the nurses if they don’t believe me they can take a blood pressure reading on each arm and see what I’m talking about, they have and it proves me right every single time 😢that there’s something really wrong with my right arm, because it’ll give a reading of 60/41 and then they take it on my left arm and it reads 110/70! It’s getting worrisome to me and it’s so hard to get into a specialist right away in the USA 🇺🇸 it’ll be 6 months before I can even see someone for the first time and I’m not that patient when it comes to deteriorating conditions 😢but it’s not enough to go to the emergency room either so idk anymore, sometimes I wish I hadn’t survived because I feel like such a fckn burden on my family nothing seems to be getting better 😢 I don’t have any energy whatsoever and I’m supposed to be going to OT/PT to work on my stamina and I can’t summon the energy to make an appointment ffs 😢 I have PTSD from this hospital stay and illness and it’s hard getting my fckn husband to wear a mask at work and when he goes to the store, then he expects me to kiss him….not happening ever again because we were both told if I wanted to be as safe as I could, both of us have to wear masks while out in public, him because he kisses me and he’s not taking me seriously anymore, so I’m seriously contemplating moving out or he does and we either separate permanently or divorce, I don’t care which anymore because nobody is taking my fear of getting sick again seriously and guess what, 2 months after getting out of the hospital and he had been back to work for 8 days without a mask and our entire family, me especially, GOT INFECTED WITH COVIS and he treated it like it was no big deal. I remind him daily that he wasn’t the one intubated for 3 weeks and had a tracheostomy just to be able to fckn breathe and still no respect for what’s left of my life at 53yo . I would love to be around for my granddaughter, but it’s not looking good thanks to this idiocy 🤬😭🤬

    Its so frustrating seeing comments of people who have the exact problem as me right now, and then when you check the comments on the bottom there is never a reply. Some guy made a comment a year ago and hasnt added any new info. Is everyone with this problem magically getting better and forgetting to check their replies? Or are all these people passing away? The doctors dont even seem to take my months of breathlessness seriously because i have poor person insurance and my vitals look normal. If i was a millionaire politician or celebrity i would have already had a hundred specialized tests in the last 2 months and found a cure or at least an answer. But for a nobody i had an urgent care say theres nothing wrong, an emergency room say its probably just permanent damage from vaping juuls for a couple years. And ive been waiting months to just get an INITIAL appointment with my primary care physician before she can even refer me to a specialist months later.
