A woman revealed that she almost died after wearing high-waisted shorts for eight hours. This woman named Sam, from North Carolina, USA ended up in a life-threatening situation after wearing tight denim shorts on a date with her boyfriend.
The date, which was three years ago, lasted eight hours, and while the shorts were "uncomfortable", she told Buzzfeed, she "chose to ignore it and just enjoy my time."
The following day, the 25-year-old recalled feeling very ill and sore when she noticed a lump where the chafing had been, which, as time went on, became incredibly sore. So, she went to the doctor who prescribed her antibiotics for a skin infection.
But the morning after receiving the medication, Sam went into what she later learned was a septic shock after getting cellulitis - a deep infection of the skin - and was rushed to hospital where she was told she might have to undergo an operation to remove the infection.
"After a few days, started to feel sick and went to the doctor. They give me antibiotics for a possible 'skin infection' in my a** crack. The next day, feeling awful. I can't walk so I go to the ER and insist I'm in the worst stabbing pain. Gets admitted to the ICU and the doc says I have sepsis and cellulitis.
She then added, "Spends a week in ICU. Doctors tell me they may need to cut off (I don't know medical terms) the part of my a** that is infected. Constantly having to show my a** to doctors every day. After that, she mentioned that thankfully she didn't have to go through surgery after a lot of to and fro.
Sam added, "Unfortunately, the cellulitis came back a month later, and I had to go back to the ER only for a day, where they treated me with antibiotics."
