Mr. Charles C talks about the efficiency of the ICU

I remember unfortunate! No, I remember the efficiency and the ease with which people operated. You felt that you were in very good and safe hands. That’s one impression that I have. The second impression is, it was frustratingly, difficult to sleep at night because of the commotion going on, because of the discussions outside the room and, you know. I commented about it a few times. But. So two impressions: one, they really take care of you. Two, sound doesn’t seem to be an important thing. Because they got lots of things to do. And therefore, at night when you’re supposed to be asleep, you can’t be asleep, you know so two little things.

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!
