Whoopie Goldberg recently revealed she nearly died from pneumonia and sepsis. I battled an infection and sepsis just a month before her. Whoopie and I are both 63. I spent 4 days in the ICU in January and was closer to death than I've ever been.
I’m glad to hear she’s recovering and telling her story. In the United States, 270,000 people die of sepsis each year – more than from prostate cancer, breast cancer and AIDS combined. Despite its prevalence, less than 1% of Americans can correctly identify the most common symptoms of sepsis. I'm thankful she's sharing her story to increase sepsis awareness.
