Bacterial infections cause most cases of sepsis but it can also result from viral infections such as COVID-19 or the flu. Infections that lead to sepsis most often start in the lungs, urinary tract, skin or...

It seems like Eastern Montana will get the short end of the stick, as our representation gets smaller because the districts get bigger. There has been both rewarding and trying times, during my...
