From Sepsis to Miracle Recovery | Tampa News

A 73-year-old man, Larry Anzalone, nearly died after a simple ear infection spiraled into bacterial meningitis, blood clots, pneumonia, and sepsis — the top killer in hospitals. Placed in a coma for ten days, he defied the odds, waking up in ICU with doctors warning of permanent damage. But Larry, calling himself a miracle, credits his wife’s voice in his ear and the relentless care of Tampa General’s sepsis team. Vaccinated? Yes — but strains matter. Now, after a month of rehab, he’s home, walking unaided, gaining strength, and planning a vacation. His story is a powerful reminder: early detection saves lives, and human resilience, backed by great medicine, can turn tragedy into triumph.
