‘Call an ambulance!’: Coronation Street fans left horrified as Ryan’s condition worsened – and viewers are all saying the same thing
Coronation Street viewers were horrified after Ryan Connor’s condition continued to deteriorate on Friday.
The DJ (played by Ryan Prescott) who suffered life-changing injuries after a horrific acid attack hasn’t called an ambulance despite the wound on his arm appearing to show signs of infection.
Ryan was pelted with a glass of acid after standing between Daisy Midgeley and her stalker Justin, who had originally planned to attack the barmaid.
After learning Daisy (Charlotte Jordan) told fiancé Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) she couldn’t wait to dump him, Ryan’s problems only got worse when his illness knocked him unconscious.
Racing to Twitter fans begged the character to call an ambulance, while others were certain he had developed Sepsis.

Convinced: Racing to Twitter fans begged him to call an ambulance, while others were sure he had developed Sepsis
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused when the body releases chemicals to fight an infection.
These chemicals damage the body’s own tissues and organs and can lead to shock, organ failure, and death.
One of them wrote, “Ryan needs to call an ambulance ASAP. He could die of sepsis if he doesn’t get antibiotics.”
With a second addition: “Ryan, get to the hospital quickly, it looks very septic.”
A third said, “Think Ryan has Sepsis” and “So Ryan has Sepsis?” poor boy’.
Another wrote, “Daniel needs to call an ambulance” while someone else agreed, “He needs to call an ambulance.” He has blood poisoning.”
After Ryan left a message for Daisy’s alter ego Crystal, she rushed to his flat, terrified of what she would find.
Along with Debbie (Sue Devaney), they discovered him cold and unconscious before finally dialing 999.

Later doctors did indeed diagnose Ryan with the condition before Daisy admitted to boyfriend Daniel her role as catfish Crystal.
The teacher was disgusted by his partner’s behavior and accused her of cheating on him.
Daisy pretends to be a beautiful influencer in an effort to boost Ryan’s confidence, while her feelings for him seem to grow over the past few weeks.
Later, Daniel followed an emotional heart-to-heart, forgiving Daisy and praising her for being a true friend, seemingly unaware of her growing crush.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
SIX MAJOR SIGNS OF SEPSIS
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused when the body releases chemicals to fight an infection.
These chemicals damage the body’s own tissues and organs and can lead to shock, organ failure, and death.
Organ failure and death are more likely if sepsis is not recognized early and treated promptly.
Sepsis infects an estimated 55,000 Australians each year, killing between 5,000 and 9,000, making it more than four times more deadly than the toll.
The symptoms can resemble gastroenteritis or the flu and can quickly become fatal.
The six main signs of something potentially deadly can be identified by the acronym ‘SEPSIS’:
- Slurred speech or confusion, lethargy, disorientation
- Extreme chills or muscle aches, fever or low temperature
- Pressing a rash will not make it fade
- Severe shortness of breath, rapid breathing
- Inability to urinate for several hours
- Skin that is mottled or discolored
Children can also show convulsions or seizures, and a rash that doesn’t go away when you press it — and more than 40 percent of cases occur in children under five.
Anyone who develops these symptoms should seek urgent medical attention — and ask doctors, “Could this be sepsis?”
Sepsis is a leading cause of preventable death killing approximately 10,000 Australians each year
The early symptoms of sepsis can easily be confused with milder conditions, making it difficult to diagnose.
A high temperature (fever), chills and chills, a rapid heartbeat and rapid breathing are also indicators.
A patient can deteriorate quickly if sepsis is missed at an early stage, so prompt diagnosis and treatment is vital – but this rarely happens.
In the early stages, sepsis can be mistaken for a respiratory infection, the flu, or an upset stomach.
It is most common and dangerous in older adults, pregnant women, children under one year of age, people with chronic conditions, or those with weakened immune systems.
