Intensive Medicine

Over the next ten years, 40 to 60 million people in this country will be admitted to the ICU. Most of these hospitalizations will be sudden, unexpected, and harrowing experiences that can alter patients and their families physically and emotionally, with effects that endure for years. In this rich blend of science, medical history, profoundly humane patient stories, and personal reflection, Dr. Wes Ely describes his mission to prevent patients from being inadvertently harmed by the technology that is keeping them alive.

Author Cory Franklin, MD, who headed the hospital's intensive care unit from the 1970s through the 1990s, shares his most unique and bizarre experiences, including the deadly Chicago heatwave of 1995, treating the first AIDS patients in the country before the disease was diagnosed, the nurse with rare Munchausen syndrome, the only surviving ricin victim, and the professor with Alzheimer's hiding the effects of the wrong medication.

Dr. Aoife Abbey takes us beyond the medical perspective to see the humanity at work inside our hospitals through the eyes of doctors and nurses as they witness and experience the full spectrum of human emotion with every shift. It is their responsibility to mitigate the grief of a family in mourning, calm a patient about to die, and confront their own fear of failure when lives are on the line.

How exactly should you feel like when you find yourself ill in an hospital or home bed, sometimes you are left alone or get overwhelmed by the large number of visitors that flow in and out of the room, should you battle it out all by yourself or should you try to forget that you are ill, the way others try to put it, of course you can't forget your current pain, a few old friends come in and try to comfort you, some do it well while others add salt to the injury, then an experienced physician walks in, he sees the uneasiness in your face and finds your hands stretching out to a glass cup ...

Deutschlandweite Berühmtheit erlangt er, als er von Jens Spahn zur Bundespressekonferenz eingeladen wird und dort vom Krankenhausalltag berichtet: von den katastrophalen Arbeitsbedingungen, der permanenten körperlichen und emotionalen Überlastung und dem sicheren Gefühl, dass sich die Politik nicht wirklich dafür interessiert.

In these stories, Dr Jim Down brings us to the very heart of the intensive care unit - the section of the hospital where the sickest patients are brought to be cared for until their condition improves. With honesty, humility and a streak of dark humour, Dr Down describes the quietly heroic work of doctors and nurses on the ICU, a place which sits at the cutting edge of medical technology and where a split-second decision can make the difference between life and death.

For decades, millions of ICU survivors left the hospital with disabling symptoms all now recognised as post-intensive care syndrome, or PICS. Many COVID survivors also suffer from PICS. Dr Ely’s ground-breaking investigations advanced the understanding of PICS and introduced crucial changes that reshaped intensive care. Dr Ely shows that this new way—technology plus touch—is the future of health care and is a proven path toward reclaiming vitality. Full of wisdom and heart, Every Deep-Drawn Breath is an essential resource for all those affected by critical illness.
