In this week’s BLOG I want to share with you

”5 POWERFUL THINGS YOU NEED TO DO IF THE INTENSIVE CARE TEAM IS NEGATIVE WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS CRITICALLY ILL IN INTENSIVE CARE!”

If your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care, chances are high that you are experiencing an overtly negative Intensive Care team!

It’s bad enough that you, your family and your critically ill loved one are way outside of your comfort zone!

And even worse, you and your family feel the stress, the fear, the frustrations, the anxiety and the vulnerability when you’re having a loved one critically ill in Intensive Care!

There just isn’t enough support for Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care!

On top of that Intensive Care teams tend to be very quick in painting “doom and gloom” pictures and they are very quick in pointing out the negatives rather than the positives!

And they do this for a number of reasons, whether it be to protect their professional reputation, whether it be to keep your expectations low and therefore make it easier for them to “manage” you and your family and put you in your place!

And I can assure you that after more than 15 years Intensive Care nursing in 3 different countries I have seen my fare share of negative Intensive Care teams and their approaches in “managing” families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, in order to get what they want!

Their approaches in “managing” families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care may start at being overtly negative and keeping your and your family’s expectations and hopes low, but they don’t stop there.

What you and your family need in a situation where your critically ill loved one is either

- very unstable and in a very critical condition
- in a life threatening situation
- in Intensive Care for long-term treatments and long-term stays
- having a severe(traumatic) head or brain injury
- threatened with an “NFR”(Not for resuscitation) or “DNR”(Do not resuscitate) order
- In a situation where the Intensive Care team suggests a “withdrawal of treatment” or a “limitation of treatment” as being “in the best interest” of your critically ill loved one
- approaching their end of life in Intensive Care

is not negativity and “doom and gloom” pictures, painted by the “all powerful” Intensive Care team.

What you and your family need instead is to regain PEACE OF MIND, regain power, regain control and regain influence fast!

And if you are like 99% of families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care you will never have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence, because you just sit at the sidelines and watch things passively go by.

You put all your trust and “blind faith” in the “perceived power” and the “perceived authority” of the Intensive Care team!

Thankfully you have come to the right place!

And I know that because you are reading this that you don’t belong to the 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who don’t have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence!

I know that you’ve already sensed that “what you see is not always what you get in Intensive Care” and therefore you want to know more...
