Not a healthcare worker but a chronically sick kid who within 5 mins of shift change for night shift had a 105.7 fever, white count of 25,000, RBC of 2.92, Hemeglobin of 8, Hematocrit of 23.8, platelet count of 99, BG of 222, sodium of 125, potassium of 2.8, chloride of 94, CO2 of 16, Anion gap of 15, BUN of 27, Crit of 3.65, calcium of 7.3, total protein of 5.3, albumin of 2.7, alkaline phosphate of 36, bilirubin of 1.6, CRP of 19.3, Mag was 1.5, triglycerides were 692, my ast was 48, phosphorus of 2.3, eGFR of 66, CK of 24, Lipase of 947, QTC of 572. I was quickly transferred to the PICU, later was intubated. Also had a AKI. Blood cultures came back within 12 hrs that I was in septic shock with MRSA from a central line infection that wasn’t taken seriously at another hospital I had previously been at 5 days prior. Let’s just say what everyone is thinking. I was screwed and my parents were told to prepare for the worst bc I wasn’t expected to make it through the night
