"Sepsis is a medical emergency, CDC says. It can be stopped if caught in time." At my hospital, it turned out that treating septic shock was as simple as listening to Rat when he said, "You are starving your patients, check out their albumin, feed them. Well, not quite that simple; they had to hire an intensivist to say the same thing. Then they shipped the doc who was saying, "You can go 10 days without feeding them" to another hospital. I regret to say we attended Cal at the same time, and he was one of the kids who took my place in med school. But, I digress. After we provided nutrition, we stopped transferring patients to the big city. Nothing to it.

Sam, not everyone knows what sepsis is: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection injures its own tissues and organs. Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. There may also be symptoms related to a specific infection, such as a cough with pneumonia, or painful urination with a kidney infection. In the very young, old, and people with a weakened immune system, there may be no symptoms of a specific infection and the body temperature may be low or normal rather than high. Severe sepsis is sepsis causing poor organ function or insufficient blood flow. Insufficient blood flow may be evident by low blood pressure, high blood lactate, or low urine output. Septic shock is low blood pressure due to sepsis that does not improve after reasonable amounts of intravenous fluids are given. en.wikipedia.org · Text under CC-BY-SA license no wonder it is often mis-diagnosed
