In this week’s second Part of the intensivecarehotline.com 3-Part mini-series I want to continue with Part 2 of
Critical lessons for families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, Part 2
In Part 2 of the intensivecarehotline.com mini-series I want to share with you
What’s happening “behind the scenes” in Intensive Care is way too powerful to not impact on your
critically ill loved one!
Why do I do this intensivecarehotline.com 3-part mini-series?
I do that because I learned and still learn many valuable lessons in more than 15 years Intensive Care nursing in three different countries, where I literally worked with thousands of critically
ill Patients and their families!
I have also worked as a Nurse Unit manager in Intensive Care for more than 5 years and I have learned so many lessons, I have seen so many things happening “behind the scenes” in Intensive Care, that I really feel an obligation to share my intimate knowledge with families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care!
The next and last part of the series I will send out over the next couple of weeks, so watch the space…
Before I get into today’s topic, I want to share a quote with you that I wrote on today’s topic and the quote says
“We don’t know
what we don’t know and if life is throwing you a literal curveball, such as when your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care, you can’t ignore reality!
Ignoring reality when your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care will get you directly in the 99% zone of the families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who have no peace of
mind, no power, no control and no influence!
You can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality!
If you keep looking at the situation like the 99% of families of critically ill
Patients in Intensive Care who have no peace of mind, no power, no control and no influence, you will be treated by the Intensive Care team like the 99% of the families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care…
However if you open your mind, if you start asking the right questions, if you are willing to go against the grain and against what society
has wrongly conditioned you to do, if you don’t bow down to the “perceived power” and the “perceived reality” of the Intensive Care team, chances are that you will make an impact and get peace of mind, control, power and influence quickly!
By you asking the right questions, by you being willing to stand up for yourself and for your critically ill loved
one will also quickly reveal to you that the Intensive Care team has an agenda that goes way beyond your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis!
If you are not willing to bow down to the “perceived power” and the “perceived authority” of the Intensive Care team, if you continue to do your own research, if you keep applying asking the right
questions and if you are seeking to get peace of mind, control, power and influence quickly when your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care, you will find that there are way too many things in Intensive Care that are happening “behind the scenes” and behind the curtains so to speak…
Pay close attention and you will find that Intensive Care teams
are very shrewd and very adept to “sell” you their agenda and frame it in a way to show you that it might be “in the best interest” of your critically ill loved one and yet, the Intensive Care team’s positioning is a result of what’s happening “behind the scenes” in Intensive Care!
Now, let’s dive into Part 2 of the intensivecarehotline.com 3-Part mini series
What’s happening “behind the scenes” in Intensive Care is way too powerful to not impact on your critically ill loved one!
As I said in
the quote in the beginning, if you are like the 99% of the families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, you don’t have peace of mind, you don’t have control, you don’t have power and you don’t have influence, period!
The fact of the matter is that if you belong to those 99% of families in Intensive Care that it’s easy for the Intensive Care team to frame and position your critically ill loved
one’s admission and stay in Intensive Care to their liking.
The fact of the matter is that if you belong to those 99% of the families in Intensive Care that it’s easy for the Intensive Care team to position your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis to their liking.
Why?
Because the 99% of the families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who don’t have peace of mind, don’t have power, don’t have control and don’t have influence don’t question or even ask the right questions in the first place!
That makes it easy for the Intensive Care team to roll out their (hidden) agenda and frame and position your critically ill loved one’s prognosis, their diagnosis, as well as the care and treatment offered or not offered according to their (hidden) agenda that’s a direct result of what’s happening “behind the scenes” in Intensive Care.
Now imagine that your critically ill loved one is in one of the following, challenging, heartbreaking and
difficult situations
and those are exactly the
situations where most families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care need the most help.
Whenever families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care find themselves and their critically ill loved one in one of the aforementioned challenging, difficult and often heartbreaking situations they do one of two things
1) If they belong to the 99% of the families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who don’t have peace of mind, don’t have power, don’t have control and don’t have influence they continue to “suck up” to and bow down to the “perceived power” and the “perceived authority” of the Intensive Care team…
2) If they belong to the tiny little 1% bracket of the families in Intensive Care who get peace of mind, control, power and influence they start doing their own research, they start asking the right questions and they continue to challenge the "perceived power"and the "perceived authority" of the Intensive Care team
Given that you are reading this, I assume
you belong to the latter group who is willing to stand up for their critically ill loved one and I assume you are prepared to do “whatever it takes” to get peace of mind, control, power and influence!
If you belong to the latter group, the tiny little 1% bracket of families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who get peace of mind, control, power and influence, you would have also sensed by now
that “what you see is not always what you get in Intensive Care!”
If you do belong to the tiny 1% group of families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who want peace of mind, control, power and influence, you would
have sensed by now that Intensive Care is a very volatile environment, with many moving parts, many competing interests and it’s a bit like shifting sand, depending on what’s happening “behind the scenes” in Intensive Care!

THE 10 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ARE HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES IN INTENSIVE CARE THAT HOLD YOU BACK FROM HAVING PEACE OF MIND, CONTROL, POWER AND INFLUENCE, WHILST YOUR LOVED ONE IS CRITICALLY ILL IN INTENSIVE CARE!
If you are prepared to do “whatever it takes” to get peace of mind, control, power and influence when your loved one is critically ill in
Intensive Care and if you continuously apply what I teach, you will find that the Intensive Care team will not be very favourable to you becoming “difficult and demanding” and you will find that you standing your ground and applying the things that I teach will reveal that the Intensive Care is actually not an environment where “you see is what you get”.
It’s actually quite the opposite.
The things that are happening “behind the scenes” in Intensive Care are way too powerful to be ignored and they are way too powerful when it comes to the Intensive Care team positioning your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis, as well as the
treatment and care offered or not offered.
Remember, Part 1 of the Intensivecarehotline.com mini series
Critical lessons for families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, Part 1
INTENSIVE CARE is a multi-Billion Dollar($$$) per year
Industry!
Was a lesson about the Intensive Care environment in general. And as you would have found out by now the dynamics, the power play, the psychology, the hierarchy, the competing interests, the intrigue and the fight for limited resources is weighing heavily on how the Intensive Care team is talking to you, to your family and to your critically ill loved one.
If you are shocked by these discoveries, don’t worry about it, because I was shocked too. When I first started working in ICU in 1999 as a junior nurse, I had no clue about the environment… but it slowly unfolded…
Later when I climbed the ranks and I worked as Nurse Unit Manager in Intensive Care for more than five years, the light
bulbs went on and I even gained more insights into what’s happening “behind the scenes” in Intensive Care…
And that’s what I’m here to teach you, that what’s happening “behind the scenes” in Intensive Care is almost always impacting on the Intensive Care team’s positioning of your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis, their prognosis, as well as the care and treatment offered or not offered to you, your family and your critically ill loved one…

INTENSIVE CARE’S HIDDEN SECRETS AND MYTHS BEHIND THE SCENES, THAT THE INTENSIVE CARE TEAM KEEPS AWAY FROM YOU AT ANY COST AND OTHER FAMILIES OF CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THOSE HIDDEN
SECRETS!
Funding issues, Patients blocking precious, expensive and “in-demand” Intensive Care beds, as well as different medical teams often having different interests all weigh heavily on how your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis, as well as the care and treatment offered or not offered is presented to you and your family…
It’s probably not what you and your family expected, but it’s reality…
And as I said in the quote in the beginning, you can ignore reality but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality…
