Wow. Thanks for the heads up. Definitely not something one would want to get for sure. It's sad that it takes a tragedy to draw attention to something so deadly.
ReplyDeleteI heard about this and it's heartbreaking. It's all very sad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating us on this deadly disease. After watching ER for 15 years, I've heard the term septic shock, but never really understoood what it was.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow!!! This is really scary!
ReplyDeleteI used to work for a drug company that was trying to develop a drug for septic shock but the "study agent" (as the call "potential new" drugs) was not successful - they did spend millions of dollars trying.
ReplyDeleteoh I know! I was like wtf? this is all new to me.
ReplyDeleteThis was so crazy...I couldn't believe this when I heard about it on CNN...So sad.
