I would like to share my personal experience on this topic. Get in contact with us

Mr. Alain A saw himself floating on a cloud.

“It was then I think when I woke up from the induced coma. I think it was there because I can’t think of any other explanation. And I was, yeah really good. It was a big, big white cloud. Pretty thick and I was sitting on it and I was really great. Afterwards, so if you want afterwards I did – so I don’t know if it’s in the coma, but I think it’s more afterwards – I had dreams that were not possible where with my family, some of the times, and some of the times all of it, I was in New York, I was in San Francisco, I was in Marseille, I was in Paris, I was in London, I was all over the world, but in my bed.”

Experiences in the intensive care unit

With the technical and medical possibilities on intensive care a patient can be able to survive life-threatening illnesses. These experiences of critical illness and intensive care medicine are challenging for patients and families. Often experiences made on intensive care unit (ICU) can be life changing.
In small video- or audio-sequences we would like to illustrate the experiences made by patients on ICU and how they handled their stay in this critical situation.
Many patients share their experiences on intensive care unit and show how these experiences influenced their life.

We are curious about your story!
