Dr Cusack is a hero, in my opinion

Q What was the GP's presumptive diagnosis? A The Adcock's took Jack to his GP who instantly recognised he was *ILL* Q What was his diagnosis? Did the GP suspect sepsis? A He recognised Jack was *ILL* No recognisable presumed diagnosis in there I can see. Just ill, apparently >>

That’s how most people arrive acutely in hospital - ill with no clear diagnosis and then Doctors have to work out which of the 1000s of diagnoses in the World Health Organisation book is/are active in this patient. That’s the challenge of Doctoring in acute care
@DrGrumble -
Totally understand that. But the question remains - did the GP flag up any suspicions of sepsis? It's entirely possible he may not have done so and therefore I'm fishing in the wrong pond here. But if he did, I don't think it helps BG's cause. I'd like to know which it is now.
