A Cork man has been labelled as having one of the worst cases of sepsis in two decades, after visiting Cork University Hospital (CUH) with a sore throat.
Thomas, originally from Gorlice in Poland - has been living in Cork a long time, and had built a happy life for himself, his wife and two sons in Ireland for the last 15 years, Cork Beo reports.
Last week Thomas went to a doctor after feeling like he had a sore throat.
