Good thing you did not attend this walk in centre, an absolute tragedy.

On a different, possibly lighter note, anyone attending a NHS hospital and complaining had better be aware.

Re: Sepsis
The second link, John reminds of a cartoon I saw some years ago.
African American at a post op visit to his surgeon,
Surgeon. "Well now, everything seems OK. How do you feel about it?"
Patient. "It sure makes a vas deferens, Doc."

#35, 'Good thing you did not attend this walk in centre, an absolute tragedy.

Thank you John, hence my original post. Here are the symptoms again:
S—Shivering, fever, or very cold
E—Extreme pain or general discomfort
P—Pale or discolored skin
S—Sleepy, difficult to rouse, confused
I—"I feel like I might die"
S—Short of breath"
It took me all my time to brush my teeth, certainly never looked in a mirror, hardly brushed my hair, slept for Scotland, confusion to me is the worst symptom as I couldn't think straight and didn't realise I should have went to the doctor sooner, barely remember driving there.. . Lucky for me doctor took one look and I was packed off to hospital.
Was back in again this week, isolation, as my gut had a reaction!! to all the medication that I received...Silver lining..lost 7lbs
Now have to keep clear of any virus otherwise my op will be postponed. So no kisses or cuddles from the grandchildren, skype only as I am prone to catching their sniffles.
As I said before I was treating myself for flu symptoms so beware.
