You don’t know what you don’t know when your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care! (PART 1)

Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM, where we instantly improve the lives for Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, so that you can make informed decisions, have peace of mind, real power, real control and so that you can influence decision making fast, even if you’re not a doctor or a nurse in Intensive Care!

In the last BLOG I published another great testimonial from one of our readers

I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful website!

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

You don’t know what you don’t know when your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care! (PART 1)

Before I get into today’s topic, I wrote a quote on today’s topic and the quote says

When you and your family are faced with this massive “once in a lifetime” challenge of having a loved one critically ill in Intensive Care you simply “don’t know what you don’t know!”

99% of the families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care make no informed decisions, they have no peace of mind, no power, no control and no influence, because they don’t know what they don’t know!

Walking into Intensive Care is a bit like walking into the “Matrix”, it’s almost like a hidden universe that is opening up in front of you, where you very quickly dislike what you see!

Most importantly, what you see usually doesn’t make sense and if you find that it does make sense it usually doesn’t take long to become unravelled!

You’ll also find that ”what you see is not always what you get!” in Intensive Care!

Critical illness in Intensive Care is a very complex issue, with dynamics unfolding that you wouldn’t have even thought of in your wildest dreams!

It’s usually an emotional roller coaster ride that you had not anticipated and there are no guarantees of a successful outcome for you and for your critically ill loved one, especially if you do what 99% of the families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are doing, who make no informed decisions, have no peace of mind, no power, no control and no influence!

To increase your and your critically ill loved one’s chances to get the outcomes you want, need and deserve, you very quickly need to find a road map of the territory and you very quickly need to acknowledge that you “don’t know what you don’t know” and you need to seek help quickly!

Once you have acknowledged that you simply “don’t know what you don’t know” you can then take action towards filling the gaps in your knowledge and in the process stand out from the crowd, make informed decisions, get peace of mind, control, power and influence!

So let’s get into today’s topic!

One of my biggest frustrations when talking to families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care is that they often come to INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM when it’s too late.

They only find out about our support, resource and results website when they are looking for information to debrief the loss of one of their loved ones in Intensive Care!

Then they often contact us and they say things like

My loved one has died in Intensive Care and the doctors were horrible, they didn’t do what they were supposed to be doing

The doctors didn’t try their best

They let my loved one die without trying their best

If I had only known that your website and service existed

If I had only known that we could have reversed the NFR (Not for resuscitation)/ DNR (Do not resuscitate) order for my loved one

This is a huge frustration for me, because I know that I could have helped people very quickly in order to maximize the chances of recovery and survival for their critically ill loved one!

There are endless case studies and testimonials on our website to verify this that I get results for families in Intensive Care quickly when I act as a counsellor, consultant and advocate!

Families in Intensive Care who come to me at INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM when it’s too late, after they have lost a loved one often can’t deal with the trauma they’ve just been through!

They often need bereavement counselling, not only because they have just lost a loved one but also because of how badly they have often been dealt with by Intensive Care teams!

Those families who come to us after they have lost their Mom, Dad, Husband, wife, sister, brother, son, daughter, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, aunt or niece or nephew often want bereavement counselling and they often also ask us to look at the medical records of their loved ones that passed away, because by then they often know that the Intensive Care team wasn’t open and transparent and they know that they had things to hide.

When we do review medical records of their loved ones we can find out very quickly what happened and we can fill in the knowledge gaps for families.

We can show them what the Intensive Care team has been hiding and we can show them very quickly if the Intensive Care team had been negligent, what they have been hiding etc…

We can also show them if there had been other treatment options and quite frankly there most likely would have been, but again, you don’t know what you don’t know and that’s why it’s so important doing your own research and get a professional counsellor, consultant and advocate during this “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” situation that you know you can’t afford to be getting wrong!

Here are a few examples to illustrate my experiences when families come to us when it’s too late.

Many families report that their loved one had died and that the Intensive Care team had issued an NFR (not for resuscitation) or DNR (Do not resuscitate) order against their wishes and without asking for consent. Besides this being illegal and often against the law and against Hospital/Intensive Care Unit policies, we are the experts in successfully reversing NFR’s or DNR’s. We can either do this for you, guide you how to do it and we have even created a resource how to do it step by step and you can get it here

THE 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW IF THE MEDICAL TEAM IN INTENSIVE CARE WANTS TO “LIMIT TREATMENT”, WANTS TO “WITHDRAW TREATMENT”, “WITHDRAW LIFE SUPPORT” OR WANTS TO ISSUE A “DNR” (DO NOT RESUSCITATE) OR “NFR” (NOT FOR RESUSCITATION) ORDER FOR YOUR CRITICALLY ILL LOVED ONE!

Families in Intensive Care report that their loved ones died without much forewarning and without Intensive Care teams being transparent of what’s been happening leading up to their loved one’s death. Again, I know that most Intensive Care teams are not transparent and by you starting your own research on our website INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM, by you subscribing to your FREE INSTANT IMPACT report or by engaging me for 1:1 counselling, consulting and professional advocacy service you increase your chances tenfold to get the outcomes you want, need and deserve, period!

Many families come to us when their loved ones are in Intensive Care with ARDS/lung failure. They often come to us when it’s too late. ARDS/lung failure is a very serious critical illness with a high mortality rate, if diagnosed too late and if the right treatment options are not being offered. Many families contact us when they are being told that their loved ones are dying from ARDS/lung failure, without having been told about treatment options such as ECMO, Prone positioning, Nitric Oxide or Prostacycline. Often families come to us when their loved one has been in Intensive Care for many weeks with ARDS/lung failure without Intensive Care teams looking at the best and possible treatment. I can only strongly urge you to find out the things that you don’t know you don’t know, because that’s where the hidden gold is

Again, we have hundreds of case studies and hundreds of “YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED” episodes on our blog where we help people get results very quickly, but the most important piece is that you start asking the right questions!

If you continue to blindly follow the herd and if you blindly copy the behaviour of the 99% of the families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, you’ll end up with not making informed decisions, you’ll have no peace of mind, no control, no power and no influence!

Here are also links to some case studies where we’ve helped clients to get their loved ones out of Intensive Care alive with ARDS/lung failure even though their situation was very very difficult

My Mum has been in ICU for three weeks now and she is on ECMO for ARDS! Will she survive?

MY AUNTY IS IN INTENSIVE CARE ON ECMO FOR ARDS, WE’RE VERY WORRIED SHE MAY DIE! HELP!

And it’s not your fault that you initially trust blindly! It’s not your fault that initially you feel intimidated by the “perceived power” and the “perceived authority” of the Intensive Care team! After all, that’s how society has drummed into your conscious and subconscious mind for centuries to listen to the “experts” and listen to doctors until you can see the cracks in the system!

The good news in this day and age is that you can do your own research in an instant. The good news is that the time where Intensive Care teams hide behind medical jargon and hide behind the medical language are over!

You have all the information you need at your disposal here at INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM and you have everything you need here. No medical jargon, it’s all explained in a language that you and your family can understand!

We’re literally pulling the curtains for you so you can see what’s really happening in Intensive Care!

And why should I be the one telling you doing some research about the things that you don’t know you don’t know in Intensive Care?

Well, after nearly 20 years Intensive Care nursing experience in three different countries, where I literally worked with thousands of critically ill Patients and their families and where I also worked as a Nurse Unit Manager in Intensive Care for over five years and with now counselling and consulting families in Intensive Care on a day by day basis all over the world, I know that I have in-depth and intimate knowledge about what’s happening in Intensive Care.

I also know what’s not happening in Intensive Care and I know what Intensive Care teams are trying to hide from you at any cost!

I know on a deep intimate level what you don’t know when your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care!

I therefore also have intimate, insider and in-depth knowledge about what families in Intensive Care want, need and deserve for their critically ill loved one!

And I can help you to get what you want very quickly whilst your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care.

Why?

Because Intensive Care teams are used to getting what they want, they know how they position your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis, their prognosis as well as their care and their treatment.

If you don’t know how to position your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis, their prognosis as well as their care and their treatment you and your family are doomed.

Again, that’s the stuff you don’t know and you need to find out very quickly what you don’t know and you need to know how you can position your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis, prognosis as well as your loved one’s care and treatment in order to counteract the Intensive Care team’s negativity!

This is such an important topic that I have dedicated a second part to this week’s topic

“You don’t know what you don’t know when your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care!(PART1)”

and next week I’ll be honing in on other situations in Intensive Care where you don’t know what you don’t know.

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS CRITICALLY ILL IN INTENSIVE CARE! (PART 2)
