If you have no idea what sepsis is, you are not alone. However, with doctors being encouraged to pay more attention to the possibility of this life-threatening condition occurring, you are apt to hear more about it. In fact, in a recent “The Current” on CBCListen, host Anna Maria Tremonti discussed sepsis in a segment entitled “Why time is of the essence in treating sepsis — a growing killer in Canada.”
If you have not listened to the program, you may wish to do so. Thanks to Nadine, a member of our Pts4Chg community, for bringing this program to our attention.
Thanks Nadine for bringing this to our attention. Having listened to the recording, I`m absolutely blown away by what I learned – the high importance of early symptom recognition; that there are indeed classic symptoms; the high mortality rate of not discovering and treating early; and the serious long-term effects of sepsis for survivors. A recording well worth listening to. Again, thanks Nadine!!
