In this week’s BLOG I want to talk about “The 5 COMPELLING REASONS why you need to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence whilst your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care”!

Whenever you are faced with the challenge and the “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” situation of having a loved one critically ill in Intensive Care, I know first hand from more than 15 years Intensive Care nursing experience in three different countries where I have literally worked with THOUSANDS of critically ill Patients and their Families, that most Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care have no PEACE OF MIND, they have no control, no power and no influence!

Their emotional pain is palpable, it’s real and I know from just looking at their poor body language what’s going on inside of them.

Those Families are bursting with tension, friction and the massive upheaval in their life and because they are having a loved one critically ill in Intensive Care is just too much for them to fathom.

Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are scared to “rock the boat”

And even worse, Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are so paralysed by fear, they are so paralysed by inaction and what’s inexcusable is that they “don’t want to rock the boat” when dealing with the Intensive Care team because they are scared of repercussions!

It’s the biggest mistake Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care can ever make, to not “rock the boat” because they are afraid of repercussions from the Intensive Care team.

Some statements from Families of critically ill Patients that I have heard over and over again include such as “let them do their work and don’t interrupt” or “just be quiet, don’t ask too many questions, because otherwise we might be in trouble…”

It frustrates and angers me when I hear these statements and it just goes to show that even in this day and age and even in the 21^st century, Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are intimidated by the “perceived power” and the “perceived authority” by the Intensive Care team!

Those Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care as a result have no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!

Therefore I want to give you “The 5 compelling reasons why you need to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence whilst your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care!”

PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence is so important during this “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” situation that you can’t ignore it!

If you are like 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, you don’t question, you don’t do your own research, you don’t stand up for your beliefs and your values only to find that the Intensive Care team is walking all over you and your critically ill loved one, doesn’t inform you and basically is keeping you at arm’s length!

The result is no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!

The result is also that the Intensive Care team can drive home their mainly hidden agenda, they can use their “perceived power” and their “perceived authority” to their advantage and they can use what’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care to their advantage!

Now, if you are reading/ watching this blog, chances are that your critically ill loved one is either

very unstable and in a very critical condition

in a life threatening situation

in Intensive Care for long-term treatments and long-term stays

having a severe(traumatic) head or brain injury

threatened with an “NFR”(Not for resuscitation) or “DNR”(Do not resuscitate) order

In a situation where the Intensive Care team suggests a “withdrawal of treatment” or a “limitation of treatment” as being “in the best interest” of your critically ill loved one

approaching their end of life in Intensive Care

and if you have found that you, your Family and your critically ill loved one are in one of those difficult, challenging and heartbreaking situations then I can only strongly recommend that you throw out all of your preconceived notions, your preconceived ideas and your preconceived perceptions about Intensive Care and do something very different, compared to the 99% of Families in Intensive Care who have no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!

That leads me straight into the 2^nd compelling reason why you need to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence whilst your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care!

You, your Family and your critically ill loved one don’t want to be dependent on what’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care, because if you don’t understand what’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care, chances are that you’ll wind up having no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!

The Intensive Care team generally speaking finds it very easy to deal with Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care because of their “perceived power” and “perceived authority” status!

That also means that it’s easy for the Intensive Care team to drive home their mainly hidden agenda that’s driven by the

Financial interests of the Intensive Care Unit, i.e will they make money $$$ or will they lose money $$$ when treating your critically ill loved one

Bed management pressures and the bed management interests of the Intensive care team, i.e. does the Intensive Care team currently experience a high pressure on their scarce, expensive and precious Intensive Care beds and do they therefore wish not to continue treatment because of other Patients competing for their scarce, precious and expensive ICU beds or does the Intensive Care team want to unnecessarily continue treatment to keep their beds occupied only to unnecessarily prolong the treatment(and increase the suffering) of your critically ill loved one in an end of life situation to keep their beds occupied and make money $$$?

Medical research interests of the Intensive Care team, i.e. is your critically ill loved one enrolled in a medical research study that you or your critically ill loved one are unaware of and you haven’t even given written or verbal consent for? Did you know that medical research in Intensive Care is a multi- billion Dollar $$$ per year industry and that often the positioning of your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis by the Intensive Care team is dependent on the Intensive Care team’s medical research interests?

If you don’t have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence whilst your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care, chances are that the Intensive Care team is “twisting and turning” the clinical facts to their liking in order to keep you at “arm’s length” and in order to drive home their mainly hidden agenda!

Now, if you continue to do what 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care do, you’ll wind up having no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!

If you also don’t understand the Intensive Care team’s positioning, if you don’t understand that the politics, the dynamics, the competing interests, the power play, the medical research interests, the intrigue, the psychology and the hidden agenda of the Intensive Care team are the main drivers of what you get told about your critically ill loved one’s situation, about your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis, that’s when you are doomed!

You need to get a very quick handle on things, you need to start doing your own research and you need to start doing what 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are not doing!

You need to start to question, you need to start becoming “difficult and demanding” and you need to start not taking “No” for an answer!

You and your Family need to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence because you don’t want to dependent on the Intensive Care team’s “mercy” or goodwill if your critically ill loved one’s in a really difficult situation!

I know I’m repeating myself here a little, however I can’t stress enough how important this is, because if your critically ill loved one is in a situation where they are

very unstable and in a very critical condition
in a life threatening situation
in Intensive Care for long-term treatments and long-term stays
having a severe(traumatic) head or brain injury
threatened with an “NFR”(Not for resuscitation) or “DNR”(Do not resuscitate) order
In a situation where the Intensive Care team suggests a “withdrawal of treatment” or a “limitation of treatment” as being “in the best interest” of your critically ill loved one
approaching their end of life in Intensive Care

you and your Family don’t want to be dependent on the Intensive Care team’s mercy, grace or goodwill!

I have seen far too many situations in Intensive Care where the Intensive Care team has been using their “shrewdness” and “adeptness” to “sell” a “withdrawal of treatment” or a “withdrawal of life support” as being “in the best interest” of a critically ill Patient, where clearly the things that were happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” such as the financial interests, the bed management pressures, the medical research interests and/or the politics and other competing interests were the main drivers for the Intensive Care team’s positioning!

If you are oblivious to these driving forces “BEHIND THE SCENES” that 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are unaware of, you’ll also wind up like 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care with no PEACE OF MIND, no power, no control and no influence!

PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence if your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care don’t come from “following the herd”, it’s usually counterintuitive and it comes from doing what other people are not prepared to do!

Listen, if you continue to do what 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are doing, who “suck up” to the Intensive Care team, who buy into the “perceived power” and the “perceived authority” of the Intensive Care team, you’ll wind up just like those Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care and you’ll end up with no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!

You need to do something distinctly different and you need to start doing your own research so that the Intensive Care team realises that they are dealing with a powerful Family and so that they know that they can’t force their hidden agenda on to you , your Family and your critically ill loved one!

You need to go against the grain, you almost have to look at what everybody else is doing and do the complete opposite in order to get PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence!

Don’t do what 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are doing who have no PEACE OF MIND, no power, no control and no influence and do what gets you results, what gets you PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence!
