My sister in-law got admitted to the ICU after suffering two heart attacks in the cath lab. After many tests and a bleak outlook, we suggested that she might be septic based on the outstanding testing done and the symptoms. Once I suggested this, the doctor looked at me with a disdained glance and stated, no she is not septic. 4 days later my sister in-law passed away with sepsis. If you care about your loved ones, please have them flown out of this hospital and to Presbyterian in Pittsburgh if you value their life. To add to this, a nurse stated my sister in-law lost 500ml of blood during this tragedy and could not tell much blood that was in laymen's terms. Needless to say, I was the one they ignored when they came to speak with family because I asked too many questions.
