In this week's blog I want to talk about "The 5 reasons
why you need to stop being intimidated by the Intensive Care team,
if your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care"
After having worked in Intensive Care for more than 15 years and
after having worked with thousands of critically ill Patients and
their Families, I have learned many valuable lessons and some of
those lessons are not always what you would expect. However, giving
you crucial insight in the dynamics, the politics, the intrigue and
the psychology that are at play in an Intensive Care Unit is
something we live and breathe at http://intensivecarehotline.com/
because the well being of our readers, their Families and their
critically ill loved one's are the heart of our mission!
Just as I have outlined and talked about "The 3 most dangerous
mistakes that you are making but you are unaware of, if your loved
one is a critically ill Patient in Intensive Care" in a
previous blog post http://intensivecarehotline.com/?p=2957
there are more other quite substantial reasons why you and your
Family need to question your approach towards the Intensive Care
team that stop you from having power, control and influence whilst
your loved one is critically ill in Intensive care.
I know that the overwhelming feeling of Families who have a loved
one critically ill in Intensive Care is that the perceived lack of
control, the fear, the frustration, the struggle, the challenge and
the perceived overwhelm lead you to feeling extremely vulnerable,
especially since you know that the life or at least the future
health of your critically ill loved one is in the hands of the
doctors and the nurses in Intensive Care.
And this can be a blessing if handled well and if you have the
right advice and insider knowledge or it can be a curse if you are
like most Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who
are intimidated by the Intensive Care team. And if you and your
Family are belonging to the majority of Families in Intensive Care,
you do feel intimidated by the Intensive Care team on a conscious
or on a subconscious level. More importantly, there are 5 very
distinct reasons why you need to stop being intimidated by the
Intensive Care team!
1.Stop putting the Doctors and the nurses on a pedestal and
stop thinking that they are 'superior' to you and your
Family
