Can sepsis kill you that quick, from this morning a few hours later BAM, that quick?

[Jane Long]

Seems like they would’ve had the vancomycin flowing, if it were sepsis.

So sad.

Depends on how far along it is when you realize you have it.

He has been dealing with a sinus infection and coughing since May 10th. If it turned into pneumonia and than sepsis shock it could take him within hours

[Spacetrucker]

YES. Sepsis can kill you in a very short time.

Jim Henson died that way. Doctors said if he got to the ER just an hour earlier he may have lived.

Indeed it can.

I have a friend whose young adult daughter died from sepsis 12 hrs after being brought to the ER. Her daughter lived in another state so she had no clue her daughter was in the hospital until she got that horrendous call. The sepsis was apparently caused by a biliary duct blockage over a 5-day span. Such a tragedy.
