Here we go . . .
Before I really get started with posting I thought it would be worthwhile writing a short post to explain what I hope to achieve with the site.
I’m currently researching sepsis as part of my degree and I was disappointed by the poor state of information on the web dealing with this topic. There are thousands of academic articles dealing with this subject but unless you are part of an academic institution with a subscription research could cost a not so small fortune. At $30 an article the price could quickly skyrocket. In the past 3 months alone I would have burnt through $6000 in fees at this rate.
My aim with this site is to offer a wealth of information covering not only the background to sepsis but also the latest research.
I have a decent list of ideas for background articles and I’m sure there will be plenty in the news I’ll want to cover but if you have any specific questions you want answering please send them to admin [at] acute-illness.com. I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to reply to every question that I get but where possible I’ll aim to cover them in future posts.
