I just found out that one of my former sales persons is in the hospital and not doing well at all. I was her manager in the jewelry business I ran. Another former sales person that was on my sales team called me to tell me, because she thought I might not know, which I didn’t. Seems as though what has happened is that she had her gall bladder removed and then probably at the hospital contracted sepsis and now she has a severe lung infection. I’ve heard of this several times before, that during or following surgery, a person can be exposed to bacteria that was on the instruments or the tubes that are put down a person’s throat during surgery. These instruments and tubes are not properly sanitized. My oldest son’s mother-in-law died from sepsis following a hospital stay and my husband’s sister also died following a broken leg surgery. This does not sound good at all. She’s in intensive care and cannot have visitors, but I won’t go to a hospital anyway. I stay far away because I know it’s a very unhealthy place to be, for a lot of reasons. And I certainly don’t need to expose myself to any of that. I’m keeping in touch with her husband, who is very distraught.
