Thread Name: BS: Appalling deaths from Sepsis
Subject: RE: BS: Appalling deaths from Sepsis
Not once did our GP surgery suggest referral for in-patient intravenous antibiotic treatment when her leg ulcers were seriously infected with Pseudomonas bug on various occasions during 2016 and 2017. It was basically "try this oral antibiotic", which did nothing. On three occasions her vascular surgeon admitted her for heavy courses of the correct intravenous antibiotic treatment which eventually cleared the infection.
