The Doctors discuss model Gemma Downey's health scare after a blister on her ankle became septic!
Watch: Mom’s Sepsis Pregnancy Nightmare
The model first noticed the sore on her ankle and placed a bandage on it, but when the wound continued to get worse and her ankle began to swell, she sought medical attention. She was placed on antibiotics, but her symptoms worsened as she developed blue skin, an elevated heart rate, and nausea.
It was discovered that Gemma had developed sepsis reportedly as a result of a blister on her heel. The Doctors note this case is extreme and agree that there must have been an additional underlying issue based on the severity of the case. Luckily, Gemma was treated and recovered from her sepsis health scare.
