## Resource

A 16-year-old girl, Sophie Lanigan, lost all four limbs to sepsis after a fever spiraled into a life-threatening infection—her story is a chilling wake-up call. Doctors saved her with emergency treatment but the lifesaving meds cut off blood flow, forcing amputations in early 2023. Now she’s rebuilding her life from scratch, learning to walk and write again. Sepsis kills 3,000 people in Ireland yearly—and many cases are preventable. The HSE has launched a five-year plan to catch it earlier, improve care, and boost public awareness through ads and better training for healthcare workers. Vaccinations and early recognition are key—especially for vulnerable groups like kids, seniors, and immunocompromised patients. Don’t ignore the signs: sepsis can strike fast and furious.
