Quick Tip for Families in Intensive Care: Testimonial from Another Very Happy intensivecarehotline.com Member and Client!

Today, I have another testimonial from one of our clients and members and I just want to read it out.

My name is Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com, and this is another quick tip for families in intensive care.

This is one of our members that we worked with and helped for months, who had their sister in ICU for a long time. She says,

“Hi Patrik and team,

I greatly appreciate everything Intensive Care Hotline membership has provided to us. The knowledge you have shared has helped immeasurably. I have learned so much and become more empowered through the videos and emails. There were times when I had no one else to help, and I’m so glad your service and membership were there.

I only wish I had listened sooner. Maybe things would have not gotten so bad before they finally got better when I got your advice. Luckily, my sister has survived the horrible experiences she went through and made it out of the LTAC (Long-Term Acute Care) alive. We’re hoping to have her home safely and recovering in a few days.

I’m sure this will be a longer recovery at home, and I will try to refer to your advice as we navigate the next steps.

I know we will come back to your service when we need it in the future.”

This is from one of our members. The reality is that if you have a loved one critically ill in intensive care or in LTAC, you don’t know what you don’t know. You don’t know what to look for. You don’t know what questions to ask. You don’t know your rights, and you don’t know how to manage doctors and nurses in intensive care or in LTAC. We see it all the time.

The medical teams and intensive care teams, or LTAC teams, they’re not even telling you half of what’s going on. We can guide you step by step, what to look for, what questions to ask, making sure you make informed decisions, have peace of mind, control, power, and influence, making sure your loved one gets best care and treatment, always, because we’re here to steer things in the right directions.

Hospitals and LTACs, and ICUs, often take the one size fits all approach, but your loved one deserves better than a one size fits all approach. Your loved one is unique, and they need often unique approaches. You will see that when we look at medical records, or when we set you up with the right questions to ask, or when we talk to doctors and nurses directly, you will see that the dynamics will change very quickly in your favor.

The intensive care team knows that you have someone on your side who understands intensive care and LTAC inside out.

Then the dynamics will shift in your favor, and your loved one will get best care and treatment because we understand the industry inside out. We have proven strategies to get outcomes for our clients very, very fast.

I have worked in critical care nursing for 25 years in three different countries, where I worked as a nurse manager in intensive care for over 5 years.  I’ve been consulting and advocating for families in intensive care here at intensivecarehotline.com since 2013. I can very confidently say that we have saved many lives with our consulting and advocacy. You can verify that on our testimonial section at intensivecarehotline.com  or you can verify it on our intensivecarehotline.com podcast section  where we’ve done client interviews.

Our advice is absolutely life changing, and that’s what this testimonial confirms again, that our advice is absolutely life changing, because it’s life-changing, that’s why we have saved so many lives for our clients in intensive care. And have improved outcomes and always making sure that our clients get best care and treatment in ICU or in LTAC. That’s what’s happened here as well.

You can join a growing number of members and clients that we have helped over the years. We’ve helped hundreds and hundreds of members and clients over the years, once again to improve their lives instantly by making sure they make informed decisions, have peace of mind, control, power, and influence.

That’s why I do one-on-one consulting and advocacy over the phone, Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp, whichever medium works best for you. I talk to you and your family directly. I handhold you through this once in a lifetime situation that you simply cannot afford to get wrong. I also talk to doctors and nurses directly on your behalf, set you up with the right questions to ask. You will see that the dynamics would change in your and your loved one’s favor very quickly.

I also represent you in family meetings with intensive care teams so that you have professional representation and advocacy, so that intensive care teams don’t walk all over you as they tend to do in family meetings. When I talk to doctors and nurses directly, I ask all the questions that you haven’t even considered asking but must be asked when you have a loved one critically ill in intensive care.

We also do medical record reviews in real time, so that you can get a second opinion in real time.

We also do medical record reviews after intensive care, if you have unanswered questions, if you need closure, or if you are suspecting medical negligence.

We also have a membership for families of critically ill patients in intensive care. You can become a member if you go to intensivecarehotline.com if you click on the membership link, or if you go to intensivecaresupport.org directly. In the membership, you have access to me and my team, 24 hours a day, in the membership area and via email, and we answer all questions intensive care related. In the membership, you also get exclusive access to 21 e-books 21 videos and that are only exclusively available to our members. All of that will help you to make informed decisions, have peace of mind, control, power and influence, making sure your loved one gets best care and treatment always.
