Mr. Conor Callaghan:

I am 24 years old. Last March, I contracted sepsis - I was diagnosed after five days in hospital - which led to a bleed on the brain. I had an aneurysm from which I was meant to be left paralysed down my left side. Luckily, that clotted off and I am still here, and I am not paralysed. I spent a total of 12 weeks in hospital. Two valves in my heart were damaged, which required me to have open-heart surgery twice during my stay of 12 weeks. I felt that there was nowhere to go in hospital, nowhere to turn to and no one to talk to about my experience. I truly hope that correct procedures are put in place and that if anyone else has to go through this, they will not be alone.
