[00:00:00]Why sepsis terrifies emergency doctors.

[00:00:03]At first, sepsis may begin like a normal infection, but internally the immune system can begin reacting so aggressively that it starts damaging the body itself. As inflammation spreads, blood pressure can fall, organs may receive less oxygen, and the body slowly begins entering a medical emergency.
