Jay with Lisa before being diagnosed with sepsis The family of a previously healthy 39-year-old man who lost three limbs to sepsis has launched a crowdfunding appeal so he can home. Jay Phillips from Truro was extremely fit and healthy when he suddenly became unwell with sepsis on November 17 last year. Enjoying a coffee with son Jack before the diagnosis Jay had been suffering what seemed to be flu, but after deteriorating and developing a rash, his wife Lisa called 999. He was put onto life support at The Royal Cornwall Hospital, where doctors found that he had pneumonia and two infected heart valves, which had triggered sepsis.

“Long Covid” has spurred a big research effort, which promises to do more than help sufferers A year ago, Covid was considered a binary disease: recovery or death. But for 10 per cent of those infected, symptoms can persist for months. Modern medicine can be divided, broadly speaking, in two. On the one hand, there are “organic” diseases, in which investigative tools can identify a material change from the norm – a “pathology”. This might be an abnormal blood test, a shadow on an X-ray, cancerous transformation in cells studied under a microscope, impaired blood flow through a blocked artery shown on a scan, and so on.
A YOUNG boy is preparing for a major operation in which half of his heart will be replaced with a mechanism to increase blood flow. Sonny-Lee Cook, 4, from Jaywick, was born prematurely in December 2016, arriving eight weeks earlier than planned and weighing just 3lb 40z. Since then he has battled critical congenital heart disease, which hinders the ability of his organs and body tissues to receive sufficient oxygen. As a result of the condition, only half of his heart actually functions and there is always a potential for the disease to threaten his life. In his short life, Sonny-Lee has already endured nine operations on his struggling heart.
