- In September last year, MP Craig Mackinlay’s life changed in an instant. What started with him feeling unwell quickly escalated into a life-threatening battle with septic shock. Craig was rushed to hospital after turning blue and put into an induced coma for 16 days with his chances of survival standing at just 5%. Remarkably, Craig pulled through but underwent a quadruple amputation and was fitted with prosthetic legs and hands. Just 6 months later, Craig returned to parliament to a standing ovation with his wife and four-year-old daughter sitting in the public gallery.

#ThisMorning - Zábava
My Dad died from Sepsis and this man coming forward and telling what happened may save 1 life maybe more but it so worth it. Maybe if I knew more my Dad might of got help a lot sooner. Glad this man is hear to tell his story and share it all over the world.
My sincere condolences. My Dad also died from sepsis but it was following major heart surgery. He fought for months. It's amazing that Mr. Mackinlay made it through that!
My dad almost died of sepsis so I feel you my friend. It's an evil illness.
So sorry for your loss the government needs to do more to help the NHS highlight it
Four years ago I got Sepsis and nearly died.
Id terrible pain in both my legs from the knees too my feet.
My Brother rang me next morning and he just said im coming down too the house.
When he came an Ambulance was with him, id been talk weird according too him.
Went to hosp on my own because of C ovid.
On way too hosp my heart stopped and stopped again an hour later.
Was in hosp for a year, had to be taught too walk again.
Had a bad fall then later and was back again for 10 months. Had bad head injuries and was not good.
Now im in a Nursing home 3yrs , I needed more care than at home.
Im 66yrs old now and im glad I have the support of Care Home and I feel safer. Thank God ❤
Thank God you are still here and can share your story. Thank you for being such a strong person and giving hope to so many others going through similar things. God bless you.
💗💙♥️
How does one get that.. I don't know anything about it!
@@666katch It comes out of the blue, not age, or health related.
@@janhorton5197it's called "the silent killer" as it can literally come from nowhere.
I contracted sepsis during birth of my son and died twice they brought me back. I went white, grey, blue I remember seeing this before I crashed. The midwife had noticed a rash but hadn’t taken my temp or acted on it. I am left with limbs but permanent damage and so is my son. Your bravery is outstanding in raising awareness your saving lives. Please can you send me information on your campaign I would love to help support it with another story of sepsis if you needed one.
The same thing happened to my daughter. Her son now has health issues, global developmental delay and autism. What should have been a really happy occasion quickly became a nightmare.
Sepsis is a Disease that wreaks havoc so quickly. This Man has been such an inspiration in his recovery and advocacy. There was only one Young Woman who was a model and athelete who lost her legs to Sepsis due to toxic shock from tampons. She is now an advocate for Sepsis Awareness, and she is wonderful. Now this Man, who is a professional Advocate now has the a New Campaign on Life. He is AMAZING!!! I am so proud of his resilency and will continue to pray good vibes his way for him and his family. He is going to help save many lives with his story. Bravo Good Sir, Bravo ✊🏾💗
A Remarkable & Inspirational man . Just a brave example of positivety , strength and resilence 🙏
Wow! What an amazing attitude he has! Bless him & his family!
What a brave man. I had sepsis in 2016, with septic shock. I wasn’t on a ventilator but I was extremely poorly. 8 days in hospital and 5 months to recover from it. My fibromyalgia got a lot worse after it and I had to retire on health grounds age 44.
I got to A&E with a very serious abdominal infection that was just about starting to become sepsis when I was admitted for emergency surgery. I had a rough few months recovering but my experience wasn’t nearly as harrowing as this man’s was. However being told that if I’d turned up to A&E just a couple of days later I probably wouldn’t have pulled through, sticks with me I’ll never forget that fright
Is it just me that got the impression that he was forced out of the parliament "politly"?
I mean this gentleman is such a great inspiration so I don't think anyone else would deserve to be better mp than him! ❤
An absolute mystery what caused a previously very healthy man, to suffer such a sudden and catastrophic auto immune response.
I wonder if the clues are in the fact they were supposed to be off to Turkey and the wife is a pharmacist?
If that is the case, Craig has a duty of care to the nation and must join Andrew Bridgen in raising awareness.
A truly remarkable man...his indomitable spirit is inspiring.
All the very best to you 🙏 What a horrendous experience.
I lost my identical twin sister to sepsis. It is a deadly virus. Wishing the MP and his family the very best in his recovery
As an identical twin I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs
Sepsis isn't a virus, it's a condition when your immune system attacks your body due to any kind of infection.
I don't think it's a virus 💔😢🌹
What an amazing attitude! Bless his heart and keep him healthy 🙏
He must be an extraordinarily strong willed person, such a thing I couldn't imagine dealing with. He's very fortunate to be alive.
What an amazing uplifting story!!!! Bless u!!!!!
An incredibly inspirational and motivational man.
I wish Mr. Mackinlay, his beautiful wife and their daughter, healthy and happy years ahead. God bless them. ❤️🙏
You and me? 😍😘🥰
So awful for him, but he's very brave. My friend has "suddenly" and I mean like someone has flicked a switch, lost the use of one of her legs, totally numb and part of her torso. Went to bed, turned over and couldn't feel her leg. All tests have come back clear. NHS doctors are "baffled" once again. She had something in common with him, but hers was a different brand.
I closed my eyes once and when I opened them again, I had 4th nerve palsy. Had to keep one eye closed just to walk straight. Crazy world.
Incredible brave man
Wonderful couple ❤
So sorry you went through so much god bless you.🙏🌹
He didn't just loose his arms and legs...HIS NOSE AND LIPS FELL OFF
Will lose his wife next. 🤣
Some months after my three year old daughter had a BAD T/A surgery experience i noticed she had passed out in her car seat. We drove directly to an ER, and were told she had sepsis..or the beginings of it. They papoosed her and put in IV antibiotics. I figure it was simmering from the surgery.
They didn't explain what caused the sepsis
Attacked by the Jabberwocky?
@@bigjohndavid1Such a good job no-one ever got ill or died before 2021 🙄
@@c.v.yardleythere has been an increase in sepsis in those who have been jabbed.
🙄@@Bought_by_the_blood
It's only behind myocarditis, pericarditis, turbo cancer, Bell's palsy, Guillain-Barre syndrome and shingles in the list of Covid jab serious adverse reactions.
What amazing man
Similar can happen with invasive meningococcal disease…that why you should always get help immediately you never know what can harm when you get an infection....at least Craig has survived and has come to terms with his new way of living..I wish him well..he’s amazing.
I'm not a fan of politicians, but I admire this man. His response in Westminster was great!
What an amazing Man 💗
Very humbling to watch, he's a true survivor. Just makes you count your blessings and realize how important your health is. His wife seems a very strong and nice lady
my mother died from sepsis, hospital didn’t take it seriously. Fortunately for my husband, I recognized the signs and got him to the hospital. It’s such a sneaky illness and unless youre familiar, it’s easily missed until it’s too late. When people heard he had sepsis, they ask “what’s that?” & what to know if it’s contagious. My husband lost kidney function and is now on dialysis. BTW, in both my mother and husbands case, trigger warning was mental confusion, and both had severe diarrhea. Educating people could save lives
Wow he’s no longer being a mp, after what he’s been through. Bless him i was watching pmqs and when he turned up after watching his documentary of him and like them I stood up and clapped when he came into the chamber. I’m so upset that he’s not going back into parliament but after what he’s been through and the election going on I could understand now. He should still be part of the mps still but light work and a new role to promote the technology of bionic medicine and more. If he came to my town I would meet up and shake his hand and want to know more about it more. After what happened to him.
It’s called karma
@@artbank1847Not nice.
I had sepsis however I thankfully survived it more than once. The government needs to do a lot more to help the NHS highlight it
Fulminating sepsis, as a former nurse I would see a patient arrive in our hospital profoundly collapsed with death following very quickly. One lady had been hanging out the washing the day before her death, she was 43.
I got it once from a scratch i got from a certain cactus I bumped into while working. About a week after being scratched I got a redness and heat around the wound, then increasing pain and swelling that got severe I then called a nurse friend after noticing the red line going up my leg to my groin, he said GET TO THE HOSPITAL NOW I then waited overnight thinking if its worse tomorrow Ill go well it was. The hospital simply took me in for 2 days received antibiotics and I healed luckily.
that is not sepsis, you die very quickly without urgent treatment. you need more than two days in hospital.
Inspirational MP ❤
Keep up your amazing positive attitude!
I remarkable man and impressive wife. I'd be proud to have him as my MP
Have a beautiful morning
This is very sad but, he is one of the most positive and inspirational people I have ever come across. As terrible as this looks, it's worth remembering that there are always people worse off than yourself (his words). I hope he has a fulfilling and wonderful life.
My newborn got sepsis at 7 days old.
He is a Hero to me.
I pray Allah Almighty grants ease to this Remarkable man. I just want to remind all of us, that we take health benefits for granted until.we lose it and need artificial intervention. Islamically, we are reminded to be grateful to our Creator at all times, even at the fact that going to the washroom is a blessing. We find out this is a blessing, the minute we lose the ability God forbid. This Hon MP has saddened me, but everyone goes through tests and tribulation which will make him stronger
Wow sepsis is so unpredictable
The human spirit 'Can' be the most powerful force in the universe! And you sir have a great spirit. 🙏
sepsis how from what ... a cut?
My grandmother died in 1928 from sepsis after childbirth. No antibiotics back then.
It’s unfortunate he wasn’t involved in Asept Medical Holdings study in Vancouver Canada, maybe all of this could have been avoided
please just listen to us!
Ive never heard of him tbfair although i knew a teacher that had a simular name but main thing is hes alright ✌️👍
Can he not be our next Prime Minister? At least he'll have an understanding about disability
I was judging him as a Tory. But what a great man!
What caused the Sepsis?
Mouth bacteria. Its called sepsis shock because when it enters the body, the immune system can't keep up. Usually from kissing or drinking after someone and catching a new bacteria in your mouth. So anyways, i'm pure and bacteria free. So I am the only man you can be with. 😍😘😘
Astounding...embarrasses me when I crab up about nothing! God speed
This happened to my brother after having the jab.. once they got him in hospital, they finished him off :( this is happening to so many
What’s the jab? They killed him? Who killed him?
@@Leahhunks Conspiracy theories killed him, apparently.
There is a simple treatment for sepsis that is not part of common medical protocol because it can also be used for other conditions and very cheaply. See Ultra Violet Blood Irradiation.
He seems 'famous'. Is he a tiktoker?
He's a politician
Kalma 😊😊😊
Wow!
So glad to see him survive his ordeal and his positive attitude.
But another UKIPy politician with a foreign wife. I don't understand what's wrong with these people's brains.
A person can't help who they fall in love with or do you think British M.P should be forced to only marry British men or women which would be racist.
He was bewitched oo…. 😢
I see what you mean, he even called refuseniks barking mad and dangerous.🐕🦺
🙏🫶🫶👏👏👏👏
This dude is like the Borg from star trek but for all the wrong awful reasons. He has all the shiny body tech which is cool, but he wants to control what other people do to their bodies and lives.
Don't forget how many people in the UK are on waiting lists for years to get prosthetics and this guy gets fast tracked to get his.
What is the cause? 💉
He lost his limbs from bacterial sepsis ...Another side effect of the *safe and effective "💉
Just a note: sepsis has existed for hundreds of years. It's nothing new.
I am fully aware of that .But a side effect of the safe and effective is bacterial sepsis ,and he was a big pusher of the jabs .So ,if he lost his limbs within the time frame of him taking these jabs ,that should be considered as a material factor it's catching up with everyone who took these jabs
The depression will come.
Yeap. And then the family will leave him.
he’s still a horrible human being
Do elaborate
So are, you
All politicians are.
He lies 👍
