Woman sent into nearly fatal septic shock after severe UTI

A young woman was given just hours to live after kidney stones caused by a urinary tract infection sent her body into septic shock. In August, Lauren Carson, 31, from Belfast, woke up with a urinary tract infection (UTI) and started a standard week-long course of antibiotics. When her symptoms failed to improve, Ms Carson didn't think much of it, as she had been dealing with recurrent UTIs for years.
