Manly Sea Eagles player Brad Parker developed sepsis and spent 12 days in the hospital after undergoing knee surgery. Sepsis is a serious condition that can lead to organ failure and death.
Manly fan favourite Brad Parker will shift to the second row this season — but his preparations copped a major setback during the off-season when he developed sepsis and was forced to spend 12 days in hospital. The 26-year-old underwent clean-out surgery on his knee in October when disaster struck. He picked up a staph infection, which then developed into something much worse.“I was all good and well, then 10 days later I wasn’t feeling that great.
I passed out and collapsed, then my roommate came in and took me to hospital. I was in hospital for 12 days,” he said. “It was (scary). I didn’t know what sepsis was — I had no idea. But my missus knew what was going on so she was a bit worried. I had no idea, I just thought I was sick.” Sepsis is a serious condition which develops when the body’s immune system has an extreme reaction to infection. Without treatment it can lead to organ failure, tissue damage and even death. In fact, according to studies approximately 8,000 people die from sepsis-related conditions each year — a confronting statistic Parker quickly learn
