A BBC journalist learned she had sepsis just weeks after she interviewed a woman who almost passed away due to the deadly infection. Sarah McMullan was in hospital for a week after being admitted following a trip to A&E with what she believed were kidney issues, reports Glasgow Live.
Sarah says she remembers feeling "really cold" one morning at work and when her symptoms didn't improve she decided to phone NHS 24. Medics told Sarah she was lucky she phoned after it led to an early sepsis diagnosis before it got worse.
The broadcaster's illness in early October came just a month after she carried out an interview for Sepsis Awareness Month for BBC Scotland's The Nine.
