What's happened ?
Sounds like Sepsis, fortunately these days it is more recognisable than in recent years.
How do I know?. My younger brother died of it 4 years ago, 5 days after feeling unwell.
His Dr. thought he had a virus, & advised him to take paracetamol!.
Thank goodness for the symtoms now being much more common knowledge to medical practitioners.
Very sorry to hear that Tony. I know your brother didn't catch it inside a Hospital, it really is a horrendous illness. There were two old people that I would help, one being a neighbour, and both died of sepsis in Southend Hospital, having gone in there for something else. My friend and neighbour, bless her, caught sepsis twice in there. The first time on a previous stay in that Hospital. They saved her the first time, but not the second. I knew something wasn't right. Then when speaking to people, loads said they knew someone that caught it in there. I looked into it and Southend Hospital was going through a 17% above what it should be for unexpected deaths. A lot down to sepsis. There was a big article about it in the echo. The professor investigating put it down to overcrowding and high turnover of beds, and a less than average doctors per bed ratio needed. You're right T, it does sound like Gary Deegan has caught sepsis, to be confirmed of course. Whatever he caught, we can just hope he comes through with no lasting effects.
Where ShrimperZone leads the Echo follows (eventually)FORMER Southend United midfielder Gary Deegan will miss the start of the season with blood poisoning.

Gary has left Cambridge U, contract terminated by mutual consent. He is reported as having been making good progress on his health BUT wanted to return to Eire and his family. All easily understandable, especially as he is 32 and a full co back would be a minor miracle.
Best wishes Deegs.
I liked him as a player and bloke.
PB initially signed him on a real cheap deal for 3 months, as he had been impressed with his attitude. For example, PB liked to be at the training ground first at around 08:00. When he turned up every morning Deegan would already be in the gym and do his sessions before tea and toast.
Maybe could employ Deegan to round up the players earning 4 times what he did, who now skive off up in the canteen when they should be in the gym.
Probably shouldn’t slide tackle in jeans
