I don’t know her reasons, but waiting for the nurse could kill her husband.
Precisely, which is why I made reference to life insurance....heck, for all we know, she wants the guy to crump—I mean, several FReepers with ACTUAL medical knowledge (Not I slept at a Holiday Inn Express type)..have told her how deadly serious this can be...and that was well over an hour ago...andf she is still here....So....either the infection story is bulolcrap, OR, she fails to comprehend well.

She should get a new nurse in the morning. The nurse should have directed her to take him to the hospital immediately.
You and the rest are correct; post operative sepsis is not anything you can put off till the morning.
