The proactive procedures/monitoring for sepsis, leads me to ponder (ask) how common (frequent) 'sepsis' might occur in the general medicine population (in hospital)?
I lost a dear friend (also a Phm) in his early 40's who developed sepsis. He initially thought he was battling the 'flu' (influenzae). He may have had a innocent cut that was the precipitatant...so I was told. He did, however deteriorate quite rapidly at home & upon arrival at the hospital he had various organs failing
Yes, a sad story but my point/ question, do most cases of sepsis outside of the hospital accelerate so rapidly the probability of recovery is quite low?
