Man woke up from a coma to find both his arms and legs had been amputated and part of his face remov

A sepsis survivor has told how he woke from a coma to discover both his arms and legs had been amputated and part of his face had been removed.
Tom Ray was fit and healthy and living in Rutland in the East Midlands before he contracted sepsis at the age of 38 in 1999.
He spent three months in a coma during which time his wife Nic gave birth to their second child Fred, a brother for Grace.
Due to his illness, the family lost their business and had to sell their home. Nic is now his carer.
Mr Ray's sepsis – caused by a cut to his gum during a trip to the dentist, combined with a chest infection – came on rapidly and led to vomiting and a high temperature.
He fell into a coma and when he awoke he could not recognise his wife.

Writing on his own website, Mr Ray said he had only been married for a year when his ordeal began (pictured on his wedding day with Nicola)

Speaking on Radio 4's Today programme, he explained: 'I had visited the dentist a few days before and they nicked my gum with one of those sharp instruments they use to scrap tartar away.
'It coincided with a bout of flu and that's how I believe it was contracted.'
Mr Ray visited his local doctor who admitted him straight to A&E. But he was left waiting for 10 hours while medics considered the different possibilities, he said.

He added: 'The real problem is the delay in getting blood test results back. That took many, many hours.
'By the time they were returned showing clear sepsis, it was far too late. Sepsis will kill you within a few hours.
'When I surfaced from months in an induced coma I couldn't remember anything about my past life.

My view: This is so sad, a trip to the Dentist turned into horrific injuries. Always ask questions if you go for dental check up, ask the hygienist if their equipment is up to scratch , cleaned and ready-to-use.
