May you rest in peace; you were a great woman...

Pat Buckley was a great woman, and will be missed.

And on a different but slightly related note, I am glad to see "septic poisoning"--or "sepsis"-- listed as a cause of death. My husband died of sepsis, but that was not listed on his death certificate. More than 700,000 cases are DIAGNOSED in this country every year, with about a 50% mortality rate, but given the failure of so many doctors to either recognize it or list it as a cause of death, this number is underreported. And I have learned how important it is to know about it, how to recognize its symptoms, and even that it may be necessary to point these out to doctors. It can strike anyone at any time, and often by the time the first symptoms are recognized the cascade into multiple organ failure has begun.

I encourage you to visit a website called sepsis.com (sorry, I don't know how to do links) and view the video.

Again, my prayers for the Buckley family.

Prayers to the family..she was a remarkable woman..and comfort to you Almiranta..
I also lost a dear friend to this awful thing a few months ago...I agree it needs to be brought to the forefront..

I'm amazed how common this is. This happens a lot at the hospital in my town. A friend and I thought it was just our hospital but it doesn't appear to be. Sounds like a problem that really needs to be addressed.
