Mrs. Evelyne E. wakes up slowly and in confusion.

“So, I don’t remember when I went in anyway; so, along the way, I don’t know when, I woke up and I was hearing loud music and in my head I was thinking, there’s a party in the village next to me. But it was strange, I was there in my bed, suspended; in fact I was drugged I think and then I had visions. Then, I saw people; and then suddenly, I recognized my daughter and my son. Then I said: “well, they are also at the party”, but I saw them with distance anyway, it was not clear my vision either. Then. after my daughter approached me, then she said to me you like this music? Then I was going to answer, then she told me you can’t because you have a tube in your throat. I didn’t ask myself any questions about it. So I nodded my head and said no. And then what do I remember of this passage? That I wanted to communicate something and I asked if I could write; and then they handed me a slate where I could write on it. But I don’t remember at all what I asked, what I wrote, so I’ve forgotten since. This is the first contact I had with it, it was this party in the village, I thought we were at a party. It must have been a bit euphoric, I don’t know.”

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!
