Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.
Well, prevention is better than cure. In this instance, I’m not even sure whether it is a cure, but I will tell you about a question that I have from Jenna today who says,
“Hi Patrik,
I’m an RN in Minnesota in the United States. My father died while receiving ICU care in a hospital. I need help doing a medical chart review and I’m interested in how much money you charge for this service. I wish I would have known about your service while he was still alive and in ICU. Thank you.
– Jenna.”
Well, thank you, Jenna, for reaching out and having interest in my service.
I wish I could have helped you or we could have helped you while your dad was in ICU making sure he gets, or he was getting best care and treatment because I can confidently say that we have saved many lives here at intensivecarehotline.com with our consulting and advocacy. You can verify that and look that up on our testimonial section at intensivecarehotline.com. We’ve also done client interviews to verify that we have saved lives in ICU with our consulting and advocacy.
Now, Jenna, that’s why I’m saying prevention is much better than cure. Unfortunately, in these circumstances, we can’t bring your dad back, but we can find out whether there has been medical negligence or not.
Now, in terms of how much it costs, it really depends on the volume of the medical records. It also depends how quickly you need it done. It also depends on what questions you want to have answered. So, I can’t really give you a figure here as it really all depends.
But for anyone watching this, I have worked in critical care for nearly 25 years in three different countries where I also worked as a nurse manager for over 5 years. I’ve been consulting and advocating for families in intensive care here at intensivecarehotline.com together with my team.
Like I said, we’ve been saving many lives for families in intensive care while they are in intensive care so, you don’t need a medical record review after intensive care if you lost a loved one and you think there might have been medical negligence.
What is very important is that we do medical record reviews in real time so that you can get that second opinion in real time. You don’t have to let things go really, really badly to the point where you lose your loved one and then you try and find out whether there has been medical negligence. It’s much better to get a second opinion in real time and holding ICU teams accountable if they need to be held accountable. So, I hope that helps, Jenna, and answers your question.
Now, because we get so many questions for families in intensive care, that’s why we created a membership for families in intensive care to help as many families as we can. You can become a member if you go to intensivecarehotline.com when you click on the membership link or go to intensivecaresupport.org directly. In the membership, you have access to me and my team, 24 hours a day, in a membership area and via email and we answer all questions, intensive care related.
In the membership, you also have access to 21 e-books and 21 videos that I have personally written and recorded with all my experience in intensive care. Those e-books, videos and the access to me and my team will help you to make informed decisions, have peace of mind, control, power, and influence, making sure your loved one gets best care and treatment.
I also offer one-on-one consulting and advocacy over the phone, Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp, whichever medium works best for you. I talk to you and your families directly. I talk to doctors and nurses directly. I handhold you through this once in a lifetime process that you can’t afford to get wrong just like with Jenna. She didn’t seek help while her dad was in ICU. If you think you can do this by yourself, you are wrong. You have seen with Jenna and many other videos that I’ve made. I’ve had similar questions over the years, “Can we do a medical record review because my loved one has passed away now in ICU?” You better get help in real time in getting help when it’s too late.
When I talk to doctors and nurses directly over the phone or video call, I ask them all the questions that you haven’t even considered asking but must be asked when you have a loved one in intensive care. I also represent you in family meetings with intensive care teams.
We also do medical record reviews in real time so that you can get the second opinion in real time. We also offer medical record reviews after intensive care in case you’re suspecting medical negligence, if you need closure, or if you have any other questions.
All of that, you get at intensivecarehotline.com. Call us on one of the numbers on the top of our website or send us an email to [email protected] with your questions.
