Man Given Hours to Live After Roast Dinner Led to Sepsis in ‘Miracle’ Recovery
The 64-year-old was placed on a ventilator and spent weeks in hospital after campylobacter food poisoning caused multi-organ failure.
- Ahead of World Sepsis Day on September 13, 64-year-old Udhyam Amin shared his recovery story after developing life-threatening sepsis from food poisoning. Amin, from Kingswood in Surrey, was previously given only hours to live following a roast chicken dinner.
- Doctors at St Helier Hospital in London diagnosed Amin with campylobacter, the most common cause of food poisoning. His condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to multi-organ failure and cardiac arrest in the resuscitation room.
- Daughter Parisha Bains, a surgical registrar at Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, said his survival was "nothing short of a miracle." She described him as a "cat with nine lives" after spending two weeks in a coma.
- Now fully recovered, the former businessman works seven days a week while his family launched a fundraiser for Epsom and St Helier Hospitals Charity. The campaign has raised £37,000 to support the intensive care unit.
- Amin expressed "gratitude for the exceptional care" provided by medical teams that saved his life. He now shares his experience to raise sepsis awareness ahead of the September 13 observance.
