'Bionic MP' Craig Mackinlay vows to save others from sepsis as he makes emotional Commons return

Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay has said his purpose in life will be saving other people from sepsis, after his ordeal with the life-threatening condition.
The South Thanet MP received a standing ovation from MPs as he returned to Parliament after what he described as “eight months of hell”.
Mr Mackinlay was rushed into hospital and put into a 16-day induced coma, with his wife told he had only a 5% chance of survival.
He underwent a quadruple amputation in December and wore prosthetics in the chamber, where he received tributes from Rishi Sunak, Sir Keir Starmer and Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle ahead of Prime Minister’s Questions.
Speaking to the PA news agency, Mr Mackinlay described the welcome he had received as “quite overwhelming”.
At PMQs, the South Thanet MP pressed Mr Sunak to ensure the Government “embed recognition of early signs of sepsis”, and advocated for greater access to prosthetics for multiple limb amputees.

How about "As a Tory Mp I apologise that the political party I represent has run the NHS into the ground with over a decade of cuts and that without the NHS I wouldn't be standing here"

[@lewis123417]

Cuts that the electorate voted for you divvy

Mt mother, God rest her soul, was a state registered nurse. She said there were far too many managers in the NHS. And of course, there's too much unnecessary paperwork.

man from party who cut NHS funding hugely wants to help now does he?

Thanks AZ

I'm a socialist but it is good to see that this man has survived, I myself have had sepsis but luckily didn't lose any limbs. It was one of the worst feelings I've experienced, you genuinely believe you will die. I think if this man can increase awareness of what to look for that might lead to quicker diagnosis of this condition then fair enough!

Who is the red-haired gentleman next to the PM?

I had to beg the house of Lords for antibiotics which had been refused!!! I was told I was antibiotics resistant and I would not be treated with antibiotics, or the steroids I needed. Under any circumstances!!!!!! As were many others at the time, during sars, which it turned out no one had! But because of antibiotics and steroids being withheld during a undisclosed massive gas incident and catastrophic contamination incident sepsis was massive in the area. And it's how so many died. I was a revenge attack for banking laundering around the same time which is why I still needed help. That was refused fully by all at the point of need. Aggressively by direction and well Managed!! And since then my destruction has been well managed via health and care removal. Again with enjoyment as a gang sport with glee. I'm tired of being terrified I'm fully aware I can't trust the NHS It's got millions of reasons to destroy me. Not one reason obviously to save. I'm disabled because of the NHS I'm terrified of them, as desired by them. They know how to see off and terrify their targeted for disposal!!!! Who wouldn't be terrified of suck sick low disgusting practice that seems to enjoy getting it's targets!!!!! As for sepsis Herefordshire and Worcestershire caused sepsis on mass Withholding basic treatment during gas incidents and gross mass contamination incidents There easy enough to find you just need to be less than stupid!! Or not part of the government contracted to cover it up and do nothing. I'm tired of being terrified I'm tired of the continuous attempts I want to know Why Why has this country no intelligence or ability to answer a simple enough question Who paid Why was I revenge I have no hope not a cat in hells chance No power no strength No rights left I'm 60 this year and a even bigger disposal target just by selective directive Who paid Who directed Obviously Hereford council managed Wye Valley Trust removed everything at the point of need. You see they were told before arrival that a revenge attack was a time waster!! And not one stopped to check for themselves!!!! But they did under direction enjoy playing with the target. I can't find answers because I'm not rich I'm poor I'm not big I'm small I'm 60 this year it's destroyed 20 year's of my life The original criminal medical negligence 40 yrs more or less ago So basically my whole adult life has been destroyed by targeted directives They have what they want I am nothing I have nothing I'm totally dehumanised I'm totally detached from human society with no hope, only fear and a understanding of how much I'm hated. Well done NHS and care removal squads your job has been effectively done I'm terrified of the very thought of you. I know you're evil I'm well aware of your hatred I've well and truly been on the receiving end of all of you. Horrifying Terrifying The enjoyment and excitement in their gangland culture is frightening. There isn't a low that won't be stopped to When there are millions of reasons to destroy Oh hell what's the point I've never stood a chance White British and easy meat basically, the unwanted demographic in every capacity Sxx bravo Juliett j9f experimentation of astrophysics computing quantum and the art's 1960s no strings

He lost his limbs... but then again he's a tory so no big loss

[@soundjip6195]

Jeez he's still human

[@jimspammington1831]

Did you seriously just say that? I'm sure if it happened to you no one would give a toss also.

[@jimspammington1831]

​@@LonLon-zu6qoif that's such a problem. Go to Gaza. We don't care. We are watching a man who stared death in the face and all you can think about it is pushing your own nonsensical agenda. Please remember. No one cares what you have to say

A friend of mine, a lifetime nurse lost both her hands due to sepsis about 4 years ago. Given the most basic rudementary prosthetic hands on the NHS that are useless. She's now not able to work, however much she yearns to go back and help people... and even struggled to claim PIP. They rejected her initial claim because they believed she was still able bodied and able to perform most tasks that other people (who haven't lost their hands) can do. It took her 16 months to prove that her life was severely impacted by the loss of her hands before the DWP finally caved and awarded her full PIP. Yet here this Tory is, receiving state of the art bionic limbs at cost to the tax payer. Receiving standing ovations from politicians for his "bravery". Getting pats on the back. What has he done that is so deserving of a standing ovation, while my friend, a lifetime nurse doesn't even get empathy from the government? This country is broken.
