A member asked:
Will gastroenteritis kill me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: Gastroenteritis is the number one cause of death world wide. In developed countries it is very rare to die from this, especially if you have access to medical care. I personally have one patient who did die from gastro when they refused to come back for re-eval as recommended.
