It was world sepsis day...

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that is often difficult to spot and often overlooked, which is why we have a reminder of it on the side of our ambulances.

If someone is unwell, just ask “could it be sepsis?”, you never know it might just save their life.

OP I have a friend who recently lost her battle to sepsis. One thing about sepsis is that it really seems to just take over the entire body so fast and sometimes it cannot be stopped. Thank you for sharing this OP. I didn't realize that it was world sepsis day.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober?

Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.
