Sepsis Is Some Crazy Shit For Serious

Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary

The SUNY Binghamton alumni network is rife with incredible humans who are changing the world one day at a time. On the show today, I'm proud to welcome Tom Heymann, President and CEO at Sepsis Alliance, the nation's leading infection prevention and Sepsis education and advocacy organization.

While there may be obvious parallels between oncology and Sepsis (e.g., misdiagnosis, access to care, patient advocacy), the similarities end quite abruptly, as you'll hear on today's show. My only experience with Sepsis was when Tony Soprano got shot during Season Six, Episode Two of The Sopranos, "Join The Club."

While I am grateful not to have dealt with a Sepsis diagnosis personally or in my family, Tom brought a Plus One in the form of Sepsis-survivor Bennett Kleinberg, who regains his comedy of terrors and how Sepsis Alliance became the support community he never knew he needed.

Please enjoy a very serious show with a surprising sense of humor.
