Sepsis: Daniel Klosi's story

Daniel’s parents took Daniel to A&E but was sent home a couple of hours later. A few days later they returned to hospital concerned for Daniel’s breathing. His parents said they were discharged in the early hours of Friday and advised to give Daniel Calpol and ibuprofen.  They attended hospital two more times before Daniel sadly died, just seven days after they first went to A&E. “Daniel was such a sweet and adorable little boy. We felt so blessed that he was our son. He brought so much happiness and sunshine to our lives. He didn’t deserve to die like he did because the hospital staff wouldn’t listen to our concerns.”
