Reduce 50% of all hospital deaths even moderately and I'd say you should get a Nobel prize.

It doesn’t look like the original study came anywhere close to preventing 50% of deaths due to septis.

that’s not what the comment said tho, he just stated that death by septic shock made up about 50% of hospital fatalities, as in if you are able to even somewhat help that large of a pt group, that’s a pretty big step forward.
