Key Points:
- Manjit Sangha, a 56-year-old UK resident, developed severe sepsis last summer, possibly contracted from her dog licking a small wound, leading to a coma and quadruple amputation.
- Sangha's condition deteriorated rapidly, requiring intensive care, multiple heart resuscitations, and removal of her spleen, but she survived after 32 weeks in the hospital.
- Sepsis affects nearly 50 million people globally each year and causes approximately 11 million deaths, making it a serious and costly health issue.
- Sangha is now focused on recovery and hopes to walk again using advanced prosthetics, with friends and family raising funds through a GoFundMe campaign currently totaling around $45,000 USD.
