Sad News from the National Review Family [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Patricia Aldyn Austin Taylor Buckley Pat Buckley, as so many knew her, WFB's beloved died last night at Stamford Hospital in Connecticut.
She died of septic poisoning following a vascular operation on her left leg.
Pat had been married to WFB since July 1950 and is mother of the acclaimed writer Christopher Buckley.
She's been a core part of the NR family hosting editorial dinners in her home, among many other intrusions since its conception and her loss will be felt by many.
Bill and Christopher are in so many of our prayers today. R.I.P, Mrs. Buckley.

Thoughts and paryers are with WFB, whose spouse of 57 years has left him.
Temporarily, as I’m sure he understands.

Just about a year ago two governors got serious hospital infections. If it's happening to the elite we little people don't stand a chance.
A guy I know fell out of a hopital bed a few months ago because the rail wasn't put up. Another friend of mine had his 100 year old grandmother fall out of bed and break her leg, while recovering from a heart attack, because the rail wasn't put up.

Jeez. That surgery sounds routine.
Really, what is septic poisoning?

. . . what is septic poisoning?
Sepsis (a.k.a. septic poisoning, septic shock) is essentially a bacterial infection effecting the whole body via the bloodstream.
Blood cultures are taken to determine the type of bacteria, but if the pt is on antibiotics, the cultures may not grow properly. Late stages of the infection causes a significant drop in blood pressure, and cause the liver and kidneys to shut down. It can also cause extremely high fevers, rapid heart rate (to offset the low blood pressure), and delirium.
In hospitalized patients, common sites of infection include intravenous lines, surgical wounds, surgical drains, and sites of skin breakdown known as decubitus ulcers or bedsores.

Because viruses are mutating. The increase in global mobility also causes the spread of staff and other maladies that were previously contained. I am not a medical expert, but this is what I know.

Sepsis is so tough to deal with once it's set in.
Very sorry to hear of Mr. Buckley's loss.

"Because viruses are mutating. The increase in global mobility also causes the spread of staff and other maladies that were previously contained."
Viruses and bacteria are constantly mutating, that's true. The main problem is that bacteria have been developing resistance to antibiotics, due in large part to over-prescribing of antibiotics and poor patient compliance with antibiotics. So, the next time you get antibiotics, FINISH THEM as directed.

How sad. She’ll shortly reach cruising speed in heaven, I suspect.
