The Hidden Killer: How a Canadian Teen Lost Her Limbs and Gained a Mission
Update: 2025-01-07
Description
It’s called the hidden killer. That’s because there’s little public awareness about sepsis and not a lot of data on how many people it really affects. But Amalie Henze is out to change all that. This Canadian teen knows its dangers all too well after almost dying from septic shock and having her hands and feet amputated to save her life. She’s not alone. Dr. Alison Fox-Robichaud has been researching sepsis for years — and she wants to get better data on the true number of cases while creating a national strategy to help save lives from sepsis.
