This person was desperate.

“Yes, it is quite intense. So as a relative, when you know your partner like that and then suddenly he’s lying there and you can’t do anything. That is already violent. It pulls your legs out the first few times. Until one has coped with it…That from now on also immediately everything completely, so. And then itself I saw her only the next day. Then she was a completely different person. All the medicines and everything. That’s when my legs pulled away at first. I needed a bit of a time-out…I sometimes still need my space, my time, to process the whole thing a bit. In the meantime it works now. I am also one who does not talk about such 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!
