Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

Today’s tip is about, “Having a loved one in intensive care, ignorance is not bliss in the information age.” So, what do I mean by that?

So, 20 years ago, before the internet, or even 10 years ago before intensivecarehotline.com, you had very little leverage in gaining the upper hand when you had a loved one in intensive care. You had very little leverage to find the information, having someone interpret information for you. Having someone give you a second opinion when you have a loved one in intensive care was very difficult to start asking the right questions, unless you read any research papers that were written from doctors for doctors, or from nurses for nurses. Very difficult to interpret this information for families in intensive care and also very difficult to access.

Now, in 2022, ignorance is no longer bliss when you have a loved one in intensive care because you can get all the information you need when you have a loved one in intensive care at intensivecarehotline.com. So, why do I say this?

So, the biggest challenge for families in intensive care is simply that they don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t know what to look for. They don’t know what questions to ask. They don’t know their rights and they don’t know how to manage doctors and nurses in intensive care. But that’s a thing of the past. If you are taking the right steps and really ignoring what you need to know when your loved one is in intensive care, is quite literally very detrimental, potentially deadly for you and your family.

So, we have so many families in intensive care coming to us and saying, “Look, my loved one died last year in ICU. If I had only known that an advocacy service like intensivecarehotline.com exists, we could have gotten a second opinion. We could have gotten information, we could have asked all the right questions, and we would’ve known about our rights. And here we are, a year later, regretting that we didn’t do our own research, that we didn’t ask the right question, that we didn’t ask for professional advocacy and consulting from someone like us here at intensivecarehotline.com, who can ask the right questions to the clinicians in ICU who can keep them accountable to their actions or their inactions.”

So, you have no more excuses in 2022, not asking the right questions, not being one step ahead of intensive care teams, because now, you have all the information at hand here at intensivecarehotline.com. So, no more excuses that you don’t get the best care and treatment for your loved one because you now have resources and disposable resources at your hands here at intensivecarehotline.com. So, I hope you make use of them so that you don’t have any regrets in 12 months’ time that you haven’t left any stones unturned when it comes to your loved one in intensive care.

So, that is my quick tip for today.
