David French

Tribute

My husband David went in the hospital for heart bypass surgery in May 2016. My husband was a beer drinker. After surgery, he had 5 classic signs of sepsis. (Sepsis and Surgery) The doctors claimed he was having alcohol withdrawal. Even though I told them he quit drinking beer for 5 months in the past with no problems. They never checked for sepsis. They made their minds up it was alcohol withdrawal.

My husband died 12 days after surgery because they were closed minded that it could be something else. It is mind boggling that with all deaths from sepsis that they do not look for that first!
