Mrs. Beatrice B. remembers dreams during her coma period.

“E: I have a lot of dreams, a lot of dreams where I see all my family, my husband’s family, employees, all my friends, family friends, my girlfriend, my daughter’s girlfriends, I see everything. But on the other hand my brother, my sister…I see everyone, but not my mother and my father.
I: So you were in a coma, but you still perceived the presence of people?
E: Very, very much so. Everybody, everybody was there.”

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!
