Meningococcal Sepsis

Meningococcal sepsis, meningism, meningitis, meningococcal disease, benzylpenicillin

Answering a question sent via one of our posters - and a theme from @DocNayyar's surveys... why is it always wrong when you mention benzylpenicillin during patient handover? Surely Meningococcal sepsis is from meningitis? Why wouldn't it be?

Stop getting blasted for not-giving antibiotics & for giving antibiotics & stop the guesswork!
