Septicaemia nearly killed me before, spent 7 weeks in a coma because of it due to all my organs starting to shut down because of it. Its ridiculously bad.
Hope ur doing well
Well done to that nurse! I also survived sepsis, but it was during the strikes and without my family intervening I'm not sure what woukd have happened. Within 24 hours of being sent home and told I was probably OK, I went downhill very quickly. I was told on the phone by paramedics if I was talking and coughing I was OK. I have never felt so ill, my heart rate was 170 and I had never had low blood pressure before. Let's keep the awareness of sepsis going. So pleased this young man was OK ❤
OmG I'm glad you're safe ... So scary
is nobody going to talk about the fact that his surgeons screwed up and broke his spine leaving him paralyzed
I was going to mention that, too. You get what you pay for. If this happened in the US he could sue the heck out of the doctor and hospital.
Many scoliosis surgeries of this nature lead to complications, which includes loss of mobility. The spinal cord is a complicated mass of nerves and it's unfortunately not very uncommon for surgery to lead to paralysis - it's not a sign of a poor surgeon or a bad hospital in this case, but of a very complicated condition. I don't doubt that sometimes this happens due to negligence, but given the complexity of the surgery, it's more likely that it wasn't anyone's fault and just an unfortunate consequence of this type of operation.
@@belmarmom US healthcare consistently ranks as significantly worse than NHS healthcare, largely due to the privitization leading to severe lack of access to quality surgeons or other healthcare professionals for the majority of citizens. For this type of surgery (scoliosis correction), complications are not unexpected and paralysis is a known risk of the surgery - not due to incompetence or negligence, but due to the complexity of operating on the spinal cord.
Also, even if it were due to negligence, you can sue the NHS too. Although it's worth noting that it was an NHS nurse, NHS paramedics and then NHS hospital staff that saved the man's life in this video
@@dolphinloser6546that’s a lie I’m British and I know that. Every single person in my family has some kind of health problem and every treatment or surgery we’ve had has been a joke and worsened or done nothing in all cases. My mum died after she contracted MRSA after having a symbol surgery on her thigh. Which led to a flesh eating Bactria that ate through her leg in multiple holes and they couldn’t destroy it. My grand father on my dad’s side had cancer that was missed he died caught too late. My grandfather on my mums side had mistreated heart condition. My partners dad had a hip surgery that was botched and he got bone infection and he’s been hospitalised since b4 Covid and now they won’t treat him cos he’s too old probably. I’ve had two csections ones where I nearly bled out waiting in recovery because of what they cut on me and I have to stay in for way longer with a tube in my stomach to collect blood in my first pregnancy and on my second when cutting my stomach open they sliced to deep slices my sons cheek open and out starry strips on it and told me it will disappear in a year. He’s 12 now and with a big scar in his cheekbone. Luckily they blind him. I had a injection to try to help with my chronic migraines when I was pregnant it was done by neurologist (I have a mass on my brain that they still don’t know what it is) it left half my face, neck and upper chest frozen for 8 of the most terrifying hours of my life having been rushed to A&E as I couldn’t swallow and struggled to breath. I’ve (sorry to be graphic) but had issues non stop with my bowel and they refuse to do any test even after numerous occasions here I had bleeding. I was told I had polyps and probably had IBS. No tests nothing.and I can on and on about other thinks doctors in the uk botched from the age of 14 with my first knee surgery, or when I had nurses who couldn’t find a vain to save their lives. Or a really bad one was my neurologist and his student using ,y spinal tap as a time to spent 20 mins stabbing me in the spine and risking my possibility of paralysis to showcase how it’s done. And I can still go on but I think I’ve made my point. The NHS is only good for people who are healthy and well and maybe have a simple emergency like a broken bone. Anything more serious your just as likely to die waiting or from lack of care as from the condition. I just deal with my suffering most of the time. I’m sick of doctors and hospitals. I feel like in this country you get the bare minimum of qualified people who seem bitter and resentful they didn’t get good enough scores to go private and it shows in the work. I have the experience of about myself and 6 other fpimmediatly family members all with horror stories. From needed serious treatment on the NHS. Great for broken bones should be its motto.
Right???? I just commented something about it...I hope they received a LARGE settlement after they paralyzed him _at 16 years old._
Alastair has had a really hard life already, then he is hit by Sepsis. Life can be very cruel!
Yeah, spinal fusion usually only has a 2% chance of causing paralysis. Poor guy could use some good luck.
My sister contracted sepsis at 21 years of age and sadly died. Thank God for this young man's early diagnosis.
I m sorry for ur loss
@@romeomarks8344 Thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss
@@holly9464 Thank you
I’m sorry for your loss, I hope you’re coping as best you can ❤
I had sepsis last summer at 24 years old, it was the worst and the scariest thing I've ever been through. Very thankful for all the wonderful NHS staff for recognising my symptoms and for saving my life
Same I had it twice and it’s awful.x
What symptoms did you have?
@@omrmls I had a knee infection, the swelling became extreme in a few hours and I also had really terrible cellulitis that was getting worse.
I don’t remember very much as my mental state was really altered, I know I had the worst headache of my life and my entire body hurt. I had a fast heart rate and breathing rate and a very high temperature too
@@Beccamalecca thanks for the answer!
@@Beccamalecca glad you got better i lost my best friend 3 years ago he was feeling ill and he went to the hospital and they sent him back home they didnt pick up on it at that time he got worst then they taken him back into hospital the next day sadly he died 24 hours later
When he said his discomfort was about an 8 out of 10, I immediately thought that might be even worse than it sounds. Since he had scoliosis and had had multiple spinal surgeries, including recently, his 'worse pain you've ever felt' might be quite high.
I waited four hours for an ambulance after reporting sepsis to emergency services. I nearly died because of the delay and the hospital confirmed that days later. It's a horrible overwhelming position.
Bless him. Some people just get shafted by life. Scoliosis, injuring his spine and had an operation and now sepsis.
I had scoliosis, and underwent the operation. The first night after surgery i went into bradycardio episode, complications after this surgery are high
I had a high fever, bloated feeling and pain in guts which then moved into occasional sharp pains in my appendix. I ignored this for over a week until the appendix pains were still periodic but prolonged and impossible to ignore. When i went to the GP to get bloods done they called me back immediately due to my extremely high infection markers and white blood cell count. I was sent straight to the hospital and they found that I was severely dehydrated and my appendix was ruptured, elongated, partially fused to my large intestine and i had abscesses on my insides. They didn't understand why I wasnt in more pain. After the operation the surgeon said that I was extremely lucky to still be alive as all the signs internally were indicating early sepsis. Don't ignore your own body or take chances!
He went in for scoliosis surgery at 16 and since then he's been paralyzed???? I hope he sued for malpractice and negligence.
Wow well done to the community nurse and paramedics taking him to the right place! Hope he is better now
I was in hospital 3 weeks ago with sepsis. I came very close to dying. I had a kidney stone that lodged in my urethra and blocked my urine my fever was 103.i had to have emergency surgery. I now have a stent in my urethra...., but I'm alive after being so 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 sick. My heart and my kidneys were very sick also .....
Sounds scary. Glad ur ok
I’ve thrombocytopenia and I’ve recovered from sepsis 3 times I’m in my 60s drs don’t know how I’ve survived I’ve been in resuscitation unit but still here
I hope god blesses you❤
i hope your better 3 times god what bad luck you had
I had it 2 years ago, my coworker friends kept bringing me to the hospital but the hospital sends me home after some medication. One of my supervisors who is like a mom to me put her foot down and called the hospital and told them to get to the bottom of it. I get that the doctors at the ER are relatively new. But finally an attending physician saw me and ‘declared’ I have sepsis and treatment immediately followed. The attending said I was lucky, he could not imagine if I went a day later. Thankful to my friends and supervisors, the doctors and the nurses. Stayed in the ICU for a day and in the hospital for 5 weeks.
Thank gawd for the highly vigilant district nurse! They don’t get enough credit.
....i sure hope they received a large settlement after he was paralyzed after his surgery at 16........
He was paralysed after surgery to correct scoliosis? What went on there?
Exactly as stated.
oh god...
I assumed he was already paralyzed before the scoliosis surgery, e.g. that he had some medical condition that caused both. Although they don't say, do they.
Wow ! Paracetamol! That will make you buzz!😂😂😂😂
Why was there no mention of the line protruding out of his chest? That is a Haemodialysis line. Patients requiring dialysis use these lines as access. They can also be a source of sepsis. Sorry that's my obs as a renal nurse but I thought the question should have been asked as part of their initial questions?
It's possible they asked but it wasn't included in the edit
I nearly died from sepsis, your whole body starts aching, I had to be lifted out the bath etc, the doctor was incompetent, only got help with a second opinion
Sepsis killed my dad in September. He became unwell on the Moday, on Tuesday night, his life support was turned off.
Bless you 🙏🕊️✝️🦋
So sad 😢
I'm soo sorry for your loss 😢
God bless you
Frontliners only
If Everything was
Same as before
My died just died of sepsis, 6 months ago, GP Didn't diagnose her he said she was nauseous due to her anxiety. Didn't check anything. It was caused because 3 weeks prior she had a lung infection.
I had end stage septic shock from Meningitis
Lucky you survived! The 14moths old girl of my former boss had the same. She died.
💕I wish him all the best💕
Gives us all some perspective. Hope Alistair is ok.
My grandad had this a few months before he passed away and his skin looked terrible, some parts were a bluey colour like bruising. We were told they couldn’t treat it with antibiotics yet somehow it disappeared
Extreme thanks to this vigilant quick thinking nurse
Awww poor thing 😢
he is a young man not a thing
@@pauljones8218 just an endearing expression. I’m aware of him being human 🙄
My brother and father have both had sepsis, both lived but it was touch and go.
I went to A&E with pains in the right hand side of my stomach, after 6 hrs in A&E they sent me home full of morphine. When the morphine wore off the pain was still there. I went again and after 5 hrs they sent me home again with normal pain killers. The next day I went to my doctors and was seen by a nurse she said that looks like a gall stone infection, she called the doctor in and he said that I should be in hospital, he phoned the hospital and spoke to a doctor, the doctor from the hospital asked me to go home and he would send an ambulance for me in the morning. The next afternoon I was lying on my bed and I told my wife that I wanted to die the pain was terrible, she phoned the hospital and was told that the doctor had not passed the information on. I eventually was admitted and the infection had progressed into pneumonia, I ended up with billary sepsis, and it took me 2 years to get over it!
My son in law was admitted to Addenbrookes hospital with appendicitis, no surgeons, so 24 hours later it burst. Keyhole surgery led to sepsis, wrong ward, poor English speaking staff and 6 weeks in hospital. How to waste money and do a rubbish job! He suffered unnecessarily and very nearly died.
I'm glad he's OK. What has poor English speaking staff got to do with his lack of treatment?? 🤔
@@k_j_n1242you know what their intent behind saying that was 😂
@@k_j_n1242it's bloody obvious isn't, probably incompetence because they couldn't read English etc
Sepsis does not mean blood poisoning 😂😂😂
Pretty sure they've confused Sepsis with Septicaemia.
@@TheFlatCapFromWN5 Correct
Septicemia is often a precursor to Sepsis if untreated, so it's not a super difficult mistake to make
😭
Thought this was that Smosh guy on the thumbnail
my sepiss from a spider bite went to gangrene,in solitary confinement kept my leg by the WILL, 32 days on my back .torture ,but a blessing at the same time because i was taken out of the hole to a hospital, john cealy in galveston and then paroled . streptomycin burns inside your body like fire but i healed.
i have tromboneosis so I win! 🎺 (there was no trombone emoji)
