Tory MP Craig Mackinlay: I lost my arms and legs to sepsis
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Warning: Craig Mackinlay has shared footage of himself in hospital before his operation in order to help raise awareness of sepsis.
Some people may find the footage distressing.
The Conservative MP for South Thanet contracted sepsis in September 2023, a little over two months later he had a quadruple amputation.
He recorded this video from his bed at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, just a few hours before he underwent a five-hour operation to remove his legs and arms.

Wow I am blown away by this man's courage and tenacity in the face of such adversity. Best wishes for your recovery and continued strength! Wow !
He is my local MP; a very brave man who deserves the utmost credit for his fighting spirit; and of course, his wife for standing by him.
Absolutely agree, he and his family are truly amazing people dealing with terrible circumstances.
He’s my local MP too, such a terrible thing!
Where can we send Bob a get well card?
Check his voting record loooool
@@strikefirst4015 Yes I’m aware of that and didn’t find him a good representative. However, I’m still horrified by his terrible, life threatening ordeal!
I had sepsis while I was three months pregnant. Was on strong antibiotics with three hospital day. Luckily, I got healed but sadly lost the baby. May the Lord give strength to him
Vaxxed and boosted ?
@MR-xc3sw stop blaming it on that! God, I have had four of the shots (boosters included) and am healthy as a horse. Thanks to that and as well as wearing a mask and isolating to this day, never caught covid. Haven't even caught the flu.
Bless u lady that’s heartbreaking even just to hear.
This is for u💜

I am bewildered at his calmness and sensibility.
Morphine
And shock..
He can accept reality and deal with it. He probably has cried his heart out but knows in the long run emotional carry on will not change a thing.
@@desertgirl1392 exactly
A conservative mind uses logic and reason in thought processes… totally alien to a leftist mindset of emotions and insanity
why no discussion or awareness made of HOW he contracted sepsi??? wouldnt part of "raising awareness" is to discuss how to PREVENT it???
sepsis prone to attack people with diabetes，heart disease，weak elderly。pneumonia vaccine can help prevent and reduce chances of getting sepsis
Why?
Sepsis isn't an infection. It's the body's immune response to an infection
Maybe blood clots?
@@reweryeah he's not in those categories so how did he get it?
Goodness me, life can be randomly cruel. i find the attitude of Mr Mackinlay quite inspirational.
This was distressing. Brave man.
What a courageous and inspiring man. He really is grateful to be alive.

I met him once, I have to say he was the nicest person, I really wasn’t expecting a politician to be so genuine and down to earth. Terrible this has happened to him.
I've had neutropenic septacaemia at the same time as having cancer treatment and was in hospital for 5 weeks. I really hope this MP fights for NHS funding and support for disabled people
Conservatives have done nothing for public services, I can’t see that changing. Terrible thing to happen, he certainly took it like a champ.
Ctly my thoughts. They've been working so hard for so long to run it into the ground (although I don't know where this guy has personally stood on these issues), but they've literally saved his life. Someone mentioned he's going back to work, so hopefully he'll be working against the party norm for these issues.
NHS received over £220 billion in the last 12 months so i don't know how much more taxes need to be spent to "make it work" but it appears throwing money at the NHS simply does not work
I did too- luckily caught in good time and only 1 week in hospital then out to face the rest of my cancer treatment.

I was thought to have a staff infection in one arm (recovered from it thankfully) but I remember telling my family to let me die rather than have my arm amputated if it came to that.
How did he get sepsis in the first place? He said he felt unwell and thats it. Nobody explains what illness he contracted
@@mikemichaels2914grow up fann¥ 😝
Your immune system fights so hard that it damages your body beyond repair.
Our bodies are constantly fighting infections. I hate to say it, but sometimes bad things happen for no reason. (To clarify, sepsis is caused by our bodies improperly fighting an infection, and instead turning on itself.)
Usually a lick from your dog causes this.
The safe & effective. Sepsis is up 30% since the roll out.
Acceptance and gratitude give him a luminous, inspiring quality. I wish him and his family and friends much happiness.
this man is incredible! he is extremely brave and he thinks some people are going through worse situations. what he is going through is beyond peoples nightmares. my heart goes out to him and his family. i wish him the best of luck going forward!
I developed sepsis 5 years ago. I had the rigors etc. It went undiagnosed but luckily I was put on mega strong antibiotics for 8 weeks as they thought I had a prostate infection. In can happen very quickly. Poor bloke.
@jakestown what antibiotics were u given? My husband is on Florquinalone for 2 infections?
@user-et7hb8kv8p I honestly cannot remember. One lot was to help the muscles relax, and the second lot, which I took for 6 to 8 weeks was strong stuff which I think is also used to treat malaria. It turned out to be a pilonidal sinus cyst that had become infected but not noticed by the many doctors who saw me. 2 years later it reared its head and I had surgery. My body went through a lot and it has never really been the same since. It was frightening.
How do oh contract sepsis?
@@sararichardson737
Mostly in hospitals , at least 50% when patients go for a minor treatments .
@@ryanray6215. It can happen after any infection in an environment outside hospitals. I wouldn't say it occurs mostly in hospitals.
Pay attention folks. This is what superhuman courage and determination looks like. God bless this inspiring man.
Whilst watching this I felt so many different emotions 😢🤗💔for this gentleman & his family! One thing for sure he is a true fighter 💪and remains so positive. This should give us all something to reflect on 🤔,truly an inspirational watch.💜💜💜
I went through sepsis and was on life support for three weeks, I was in intensive care for nearly 3 months but luckily I didn't lose any limbs, I do suffer from chronic tummy pain but still so lucky to be alive ❤❤❤❤❤
May I ask how it happened?
Dry gangrene of all 4 limbs.Very unusual...
Probably not for someone with up to date “safe & effectives” !
Oh my goodness gracious this is terrifying. What a strong person he is for being able to speak to us about the condition. I wish him every success in his recovery.
With attitude like this he in good place to tackle problems ahead …massive respect
people really can be extraordinary can't they. I wish him all the very best.
Sepsis is horrible. Almost lost my mum to it. She called me and was unable to stand up, instead of wasting 2 hours driving to her, I sent an ambulance. They quickly got her to hospital and she fought sepsis for a week. Did not lose any limbs, but it was a hard fight. So thankful to the techs and doctors that saved her.
In his case the Jab was self inflicted
What a strong soul. I would think most people would refuse to do a video in this shocking state. But he not only agrees to it, but is able to be articulate and well-spoken, almost like a reporter describing his condition in vivid detail. Best wishes to him and family in rehabilitation!
I live in Thanet and have seen Craig around town all I can say is what a brave man to show this , I had the very early signs of sepsis thankfully it was caught in time all I can say is good luck for your future Craig.
Yes please tell us. How did it start, what was the cause? It's horrific. Poor man, very brave 🥰
What did u notice at first?
@@xerilaun I burnt my arm and it got infected , I started to get very bad flu symptons so was rushed to A&E.
Mackinley consistently voted against disability benefits, welfare and healthcare spending.
He wasn't remotely interested in the wellbeing of people who were suffering from the kind of problems he has now.
pushed the covid 19. He said people were dangerous and nuts for not taking the vaccine. if this was what we missed out on. Thank GOD I had common sense...
Sometimes one has to have a tragic awakening to begin to understand. I am inspired by his courage in the face of this.
Going through something like this matures one’s sympathy . Sometimes it takes that , to excel , spiritually . That’s even more important than arms and legs , but a painful lesson it is

Wow - such courage - not a hint of self-pity or looking back. Incredible. His speech to the House of Commons was very moving. What a lovely family. Well done to the medical team.
Was he jabbed? Looks like it....
That wouldn’t do that
It's the JABS
Moron
Infections leading to sepsis are usually bacterial but may be fungal, parasitic or viral.
could be or maybe something unknown....
then again ANYONE saying it ⬆is not from the Jaba - probably don't care if it were from it - either way.
vaccine status?
Clearly, he was fully maxxed and protected, in all four quadrants.
boosted
Vaccine sepsis
He pushed it. From Kent Online "On opponents of vaccines, he said: “ They are just completely and utterly barking mad; there are no two ways around it and they must be ignored. It must not detract from anyone going to get a vaccine, which is the road to recovery.” "
Yes, but what caused the Sepsis? I think we know don't we. We are just not allowed to talk about it.
Exactly what i was wondering too and if anyone was going to mention the elephant in the room!!..
The thing he wanted to strip my citizenship and lock me up for refusing?
Sepsis is caused by the body's (aggressive) immune response to an infection. It could have been any minor viral or bacterial infection
@@katiePetsy an infection in all four limb extremities or rampant blood clots causing Necrosis?
@@Spyhookthe immune response affects all areas. Poor circulatory and unconrolled infection leads to the limbs being lost in part due to their distance from the heart and how hard the heart sttuggles during sepsis and yes, likely clots . The body prioritizes the brain over the limbs.
Was he jabbed?
boosted
Not only was he, he was pushing it, trashing people trying to warn people. It is time for him to come clean, if he has it in him.
A very strong video of a brave person. Grateful he has shared this as personally have never seen just exactly what sepsis can do. Unfortunately the Telegraph has failed his efforts by not providing any advice/information about sepsis within this video which would have probably helped educate many!
That’s exactly what I was looking for. How did this happen and how can it be avoided, if at all?
@@foxyroxytmsepsis causes extremely low blood pressure. Vasopressors are a medication given to raise BP, however can have the side effect of causing extremities to lose blood supply and die off
Since the body tries to keep all blood to core
@@foxyroxytm It can happen to anyone, and is caused by an infection that progresses rapidly out of control. Look for changes in a person's face: blueness of nose tip and lips, a feeling of unwellness (extreme fatigue, feverish), and get to hospital ASAP. Person needs oxygen, antibiotics IV, fluids IV, and ICU.
So very sad to hear about this. Nothing else I can say except to applaud him for his bravery and to hope that he and his family manage to cope with life going forward.
Brave, brave man.
Which safe vaccine was to blame this time?
AstraZeneca in this case.
None Sepsis and septic shock happen because our bodies are responding to an infection,” Lee wrote. “Because COVID vaccines do not cause COVID-19 infection, they do not cause sepsis
What type of military grade bio weapon was this poor fellow hit with?
Did he get the jab?
Yes, he was boosted
it's on his twitter profile
Yes, most people who got the jab have had amputations.🤦♂️
@asynchronicity my neighbor had blood clots in his upper limbs and is now covered in surgical scars
@@asynchronicity try researching it 'covid vaccine sepsis'
What caused it?
jab
How did he get sepsis?
It's a viral or bacterial infection that gets into the body via a cut, bite, incision, operation or procedure. More likely in the elderly, infirm, diabetics, obese, sedentary lifestyle and mobility issues
@@lesblack8996 I said how did he get it, they haven’t mentioned it.
My friend has "suddenly" and I mean suddenly lost the use of one of her legs. All tests come back clear, doctors "baffled" again. She has one thing in common with him though, but hers was a different brand.
I'm sure it's just coincidental that all of them got the jibby-jabs.
Does she still have her leg? Or was it amputated?
Look for detox methods for detoxing from drinking the cocktail.
My mom had sepsis but luckily they caught it in time. She got it because she had a bad kidney infection. Was in the hospital for a couple of weeks and eventually came home. Terrible it got this bad for him. Have a safe healing ❤️
I wonder if it might bring forth a new awareness for disabled people - particularly amputees and what they go through.
I doubt Sunak will have much to say about that. He'd still expect them to find a full time job.
@@catwoman2752 It's hard to say... he's already gone private for his arms - which says a lot about the "fantastic quality" of the limbs provided by our "Brilliant" NHS.
@@Tiny-One Only the cheapest tattiest ones will do for the plebs. He did ask Sunak in parliament if he could make sure that decent ones are available on the NHS, hopefully it won't fall on deaf ears.
It's called two tier health care. The haves and have nots.
Hopefully not. They’re a waste of energy and money
The sad thing, is that no one acknowledges what has caused this and rather be remain silent as many more millions have suffered the same fate. Now he’s a “hero” and so “brave”.
Exactly!!!!!
How do we know what caused this?
VA cc ine
@@oreocarlton3343 Conspiracy nut.
@@i.ehrenfest349 they're blaming everything on the vaccine again. it'll be their boogeyman for the next 25 years causing everything from sepsis to hemorrhoids.
Is there a vaccine for that?
Mandatory even.
No, sepsis is an overreaction of a bacterial infection in your blood.
It happened to my sister as well. It was caused by dead blood cells after huge dosages of adrenaline was administered for prolonged period of time. We still don’t know what caused the sepsis.
What a powerful mentality we are witnessing 🙏🙏
Incredibly brave to make this video. I hope we can all use your example of how to behave when we face such adversity.
wtf.. am seeing this more and more. Is this the new WEF attack?
Exactly, why has this suddenly increased? could be COVID side effect, or could be related to the vaccine.
Either way it should be investigated but people are shying away from curiosity.
Hope this guy gets better. This is beyond horrible. 😰
Didnt he promote the blood clot shot? 💉
Here: From Kent Online "On opponents of vaccines, he said: “ They are just completely and utterly barking mad; there are no two ways around it and they must be ignored. It must not detract from anyone going to get a vaccine, which is the road to recovery.” "

I so doubt that. Many multi million pound contracts are in the hands of private companies. Now to tie the loose ends up and make it fully private whilst pretending to assist the NHS which is effectively dead in the water sadly.

geez i wonder how he even got sepsis??? and for it to get THAT bad in just two months : (
God help him .. was he jabbed up ?
God has nothing to do with peoples' stupid decisions... "Free will", and all that jazz.
While he was deriding ouchie-hesitant people with common sense as "barking mad", did he not think to look into the THOUSANDS of VAERS filings before taking that crap himself? Well, lucky for him he's a political figure, he should be ok for the rest of his days.
Oh my goodness! He is so brave! Sending love to him, his family and his medical team. 💙🪬💓🙏🏽
It's interesting that everyone says he is brave and that they would fall apart...... I think I would want to take my life ......... But maybe we would all be brave too if it actually happened to us......... This is so extreme only those that have been there can know....... Either way, what a brave guy.
He's got fantastic character and all the best to him. If only we had that in all our politicians. Financial and family are key to getting through as well.
He has a loving family worth fighting and living for. His daughter needs him and he knows that.
