The doctor gave no information and my mother had all requirements for diagnosis of sepsis, according to qsofa criteria. In the first hour in the ER they gave Narcan because they believed she had overdosed on pain killers. She didn’t receive antibiotics until she went into septic shock after 6 hours in the ER.

Now I’m deal with delirium, hopelessness, fear and we’re scared to go to the doctor. We know for a fact the antibiotics aren’t working. She has a UTI that is not going away and thrush in her mouth. Also a stiff neck, signs of meningitis.
