I had to be on IV feeding for a month last year and it felt like I was starving because I wasn’t getting any calories. I lost 20 kg in 2 weeks, despite the fact I was confined to a bed 24 hours.
What were you in for? Sounds to me like someone was pinching pennies on you, since there’s nothing stopping them from including the sugars and aminos your body needs.
Or maybe they thought you were overweight or something, but I’d think that’d be malpractice.
I wonder if that’s why you lost so much weight. Sepsis is bacteria in your bloodstream, and I can see pumping sugars into someone’s bloodstream when it has bacteria present as being a bad idea. 2 weeks to eliminate the infection sounds like a long time though, unless they ran into issues with unexpected antibiotic resistance.

Rules
Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it’s name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub’s intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don’t get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Gallstones turned into sepsis and pancreatitis
Yikes, didn’t know gallstones could do that. Glad you made it, sepsis is life threatening.
I went to the ER and the doctor said “You are dying,” which I took as a bad sign.
Yes, that would not be good news.
