Is It a Septic Meningitis?

I think it's come up a couple o times in passing about a septic menangitis. And so i'm kind of curious, from the other parts, history and thi stuff, what things do you sort of use to help you kind of discern that this might actually be more a septic than anything else? A, ma, that's hard. That's, you know, this is where you go into that second shelf, because, you it has to be almost a diagnosis of exclusion. You don't want to miss something else, especially in this part of your body,.
