Things I've noticed while visiting the ICU
Update: this post has spread way further than I thought it would. I’m taking it down for now because I don’t want it to spread any further.
If you had intended to share this with someone, apologies. Please contact me through my website, trevorklee.com , and I’ll send you a private copy.
I haven’t worked in an ICU for over 20 years but everything you describe bothered me back then and I am not surprised that it’s barely changed. Wish I had something constructive to say but the whole system is a mess.
Great post.
And then, there’s the “Hospitalist,” a vague title for an even more vague job with undefinable duties. And this individual can never be found. Anywhere.
I feel for you after dealing with this over the past few years both parents and a spouse.
