Jolissa Doerksen, a hantavirus survivor in Edmonton, Alberta, CA will be on the radio today on an Edmonton, Alberta, Canada station called 630 CHED.
She will share a little bit about her story and recovery in the cardiovascular ICU at U. of Alberta Hospital.
Jolissa will be on the radio at 11:30am (MST) Today, February 23, 2017.
She will also be a special guest speaker for Heart Pledge Day to raise funds for more ECMO (external oxygenation) life support machines at University of Alberta Hospital CVICU (Cardio-Vascular ICU).
Another hantavirus survivor who contracted the hemorrhagic fever form in Belgium, has written a book about her experiences as a victim of hantavirus and of sepsis, the bodies' system-wide destructive response to attack. A description of her book can be found in the Faces of Sepsis section at sepsis.org at:

An English version of Idelette's book on sepsis, is now available. It is a bit difficult to order from the U.S., but it is possible. Sepsis and Afterwards has been recommended by the U.K. Sepsis Trust and Global Sepsis Alliance.
