Sepsis: How good are hospitals at treating 'hidden killer'?

Quote:
Patients' lives are being put at risk because of delays giving them treatment for sepsis, experts are warning.
Hospitals are meant to put patients on an antibiotic drip within an hour when sepsis is suspected - but research by BBC News suggests a quarter of patients in England wait longer.

If only the A&E departments weren't swamped with the weekend drunks and having to deal with those with mental health issues and those who could actually see their own doctor about their ailments and staff shortages then maybe they might have the time to spot sepsis cases rather more quickly.
