BBC Scotland presenter in terrifying sepsis diagnosis a month after doing awareness interview

A BBC Scotland presenter was diagnosed with deadly sepsis just weeks after interviewing a woman who nearly died from the same illness.

Sarah McMullan spent six days in hospital as doctors battled to get to grips with the infection after initially arriving in A&E with a suspected kidney infection.

The 30-year-old presenter recalled feeling "really cold" during a morning shift but waited more than 36 hours to phone NHS 24. Sarah was later told by medics that she was very lucky to be admitted when she did, reports BBC Scotland.
