This is a rough one. RIP.

We're told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.

Daveigh had numerous run-ins with the law over the years, which we've covered.

Really curious about the two lines above. I guess knowing she was a child in Hollywood with Diddy connections at 12 makes sense. Sad. :(

Sepsis has really been on an upswing it seems lately. Got that Nascar guy recently too and a few others. I've known some people with close calls with it. Absolutely an ER immediate emergency of the worst type.

Ya I don't understand how it goes undetected for long. Brandon Buckingham also had sepsis from pneumonia and had been repeatedly discharged despite his condition not improving. Assume part of basic protocol in the ER/Urgent Care is to draw blood and run a diff to see what part of the immune system is activated. Blood infection should be easy to spot on those. Despite sepsis killing quickly the diagnosis should be just as fast. Unlike a viral infection once IV antibiotics are administered improvement should be seen within 20 minutes.
In my recent experience with the ER there was an unacceptable lack of communication between nurses and doctors. More than once the doctor would chastise the nurse/s in my presence saying this should have been brought to attention hours ago. The health care system in the US is overburdened and clearly there are preventable deaths occurring as a result.

This is for anyone who might need to see it, and a semi-reasonable thread to put it in; when you're in the hospital, YOU are your best advocate. If you feel bad, tell the nurse. If they don't do anything, demand to see the charge nurse. If THEY don't do anything, make it clear you'll speak with hospital administration if they won't let you talk to a doctor ASAP. Hospitals are a business, and YOU are paying them to be treated. You have much more control and ability to direct your care than you realize, and doctors/nurses have spent decades trying to convince you otherwise.

If you're in pain, ask for pain medicine. If you're sick and not getting better, demand they figure out what's wrong with you, unironically. If you feel like you're dying, you MIGHT ACTUALLY BE DYING, so take your health seriously, and don't ever worry about looking 'rude' or 'stupid' in front of doctors and nurses, just because you take your healthcare seriously. Advocate for yourself, speak up, and do not be pushed around just because someone is wearing scrubs.

I typed all this autism up because it horrifies me that people just let doctors discharge them even though they know something is still wrong, and it leads to shit like this. I don't wanna read about one of you nerds dying of sepsis that was preventable, or some shit like that.
