”THE ULTIMATE FASTLANE TO PEACE OF MIND, CONTROL, POWER AND INFLUENCE WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS CRITICALLY ILL IN INTENSIVE CARE!”
If your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care and if you and your family are still struggling to come to terms with having your loved one critically ill in Intensive Care know that there is help out there!

It’s a situation and a challenge that you can’t really afford of getting wrong and that’s what we do at INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM, we help you and your family to get this “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” challenge right, no matter how challenging the situation!

Things often move slowly in Intensive Care!
Intensive Care professionals, whether doctors, nurses, physiotherapists or respiratory therapists will usually tell you that if your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care that you need to be patient, that it’s one step at the time and that it can be two steps forward and one step back.
In any case they are implicitly or explicitly implying that nothing happens fast in the Intensive Care environment.
And I can probably vouch for Intensive Care being a slow environment to be in, especially if you are a critically ill Patient or if you are family of a critically ill Patient watching your critically ill loved one suffer! Intensive Care can be very fast paced for the health professionals working in the environment, however for you and your family, things probably look like they are moving slow!
99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care have no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!
It’s even worse if you are like 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who have no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!
If you are like 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care you are passive, you are intimidated by the Intensive Care team, you “suck up” to the Intensive Care team, you put them on a “pedestal”, you don’t question, you don’t do your own research, you don’t want to “rock the boat” and you let time just go by without you pro-actively seeking out a solution and become a master of your own destiny!
In the meantime, the Intensive Care team is driving their own hidden agenda, they let what’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care dictate and influence on how they position your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis to you and your family!
In the meantime, your fears, your frustrations, your stress levels, your overwhelming emotions, your pain, your anxiety, you being so vulnerable and by you being so far outside of your comfort zone is even more paralysing to you and your family so that you feel stuck in a corner without PEACE OF MIND, without control, without power and without influence!
And the problem is that all around you so see those 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who have no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!
All around you, you see people who are not taking matters in their own hands, all around you, you see people who have no awareness that if your critically ill loved one is either
- very unstable and in a very critical condition
- in a life threatening situation
that you need to something distinctly different compared to the 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who have no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!
What’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” is ultimately driving the positioning of your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis!
You need to get a grip and a handle on things very quickly because otherwise the Intensive Care team will continue to “drive the bus”, to “run the show” and to “call the shots” without you even realising what’s happening and more importantly without you realising what’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care that will ultimately drive the positioning by the Intensive Care team of your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis!
Now imagine, what’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care is driving the positioning of your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis!
The truth and the fact of the matter is that after more than 15 years Intensive Care nursing in three different countries and after I have literally worked with THOUSANDS of critically ill Patients and their Families, I have seen far too many situations where the things that were happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care were the all powerful driving force in how a critically ill Patients diagnosis and prognosis has been presented to Families!
What do I mean by that?
In order to dig deep and explain this in detail to you, I have to quickly repeat myself here to really make this very clear to you!
Remember, the minute your critically ill loved one is either
- very unstable and in a very critical condition
- in a life threatening situation
that’s the minute when the Intensive Care team is changing their behaviour, they are very guarded in their language, they know what to say, how to say it, when to say it so that they can keep you and your family at “arm’s length” so to speak!
The minute your critically ill loved one is in one of the aforementioned challenging and heart breaking situations, the last thing the Intensive Care team wants is for you to have any PEACE OF MIND, or any power, any control or any influence!
Intensive Care is a multi- Billion Dollar $$$ per year industry and therefore the stakes are extremely high!
The last thing the Intensive Care team wants for you during those challenging, difficult and heartbreaking situations is to be able to influence anything that’s been discussed behind closed doors “BEHIND THE SCENES” in their meetings!
Keep in mind at all times that Intensive Care is a multi-BILLION Dollar $$$ per year industry and keep in mind that what’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care is all about the power play and the power struggles, the politics, the competing interests, the dynamics, the intrigue and the psychology of the Intensive Care team.
The things and dynamics that are going on “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care are almost always influencing the way your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis is being presented to you by the Intensive Care team!
The things that are happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care are always almost dictated by the
- Financial interests of the Intensive Care team, i.e. does the Intensive Care team think that by offering and then giving your critically ill loved one the best and full treatment supports their financial agenda in meeting their revenue or budget targets?
- The massive bed management pressures in Intensive Care, i.e. Intensive Care beds are in huge demand and they are precious, scarce and expensive. Therefore many other critically ill Patients are constantly competing for Intensive Care beds and the Intensive Care team tends to be highly selective about how much treatment they offer to whom, in order to keep driving their mainly hidden agenda and occupy their beds in their best interest!
- The Intensive Care team’s mainly hidden agenda is not only driven by their Multi- Million Dollar $$$ interests and by their bed management interests, it’s also driven by their medical research interests! Medical research attracts multi-million dollar $$$ per year funding to Intensive Care Units and is a massive revenue driver and a positioning tool for Intensive Care Units! Medical research is constantly being performed on real human beings and real critically ill Patients without them or their Families being aware of it, let alone them having been informed or them having given written or verbal consent! Critically ill Patients who fall into a medical research category have a higher chance to get prolonged and best treatment as opposed to critically ill Patients where the Intensive Care team can’t perform medical research!

For example, if the Intensive Care team suggests to you in a formal family meeting that a “withdrawal of treatment” or a “limitation of treatment” would be “IN THE BEST INTEREST” for your critically ill loved one, it could well mean that
1. The Intensive Care team doesn’t want to spend any money and/or other resources continuing to treat your critically ill loved one
2. Other, in the eyes of the Intensive Care team more “viable” Patients are waiting for an scarce and expensive Intensive Care bed
3. Your critically ill loved one doesn’t fall into a medical research category and therefore the Intensive Care team has lost interest in continuing treatment and they want to move on to other Patients
The list here is not exhaustive and is only a snapshot of what could influence the Intensive Care team’s positioning of your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis, however the fact of the matter is that the wheels that are in motion in Intensive Care are so powerful and complex that if you don’t embark on
you will literally have a hard time to have any PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence and your critically ill loved one’s destiny is left in the Intensive Care team’s hands only!
The Intensive Care team will have an easy time to drive home their hidden agenda and the Intensive Care team can “sell” you on whatever they want, without you even realising that it’s happening!
