Quick Tip for Families in Intensive Care: Avoided Unnecessary Tracheostomy in ICU—Now Dad Is Home, Off the Ventilator & Thriving! Testimonial!

“Avoided unnecessary tracheostomy in ICU—Now my dad is home, off the ventilator and thriving, and that’s all. Thanks to your help, you saved him.”

My name is Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com, where we help families of critically ill patients in intensive care to make informed decisions, have peace of mind, control, power, and influence, even If you’re not a doctor or a nurse in intensive care, making sure your loved one always gets best care and treatment.

Today, I have another testimonial from one of our clients, Theresa. And Theresa says:

“Hi, Patrik and the intensivecarehotline.com team, and big shout-out here to my team!

I couldn’t be doing here what I’m doing without my wonderful team. Theresa says, thank you for your perspective and advice during my father’s recent ICU stay. He was there for 2 weeks. You saved him from a tracheostomy, which was not necessary. He would have had yet another unnecessary surgery, which could have resulted in his death. We did let them put in the feeding tube just to get him out of the ICU, but they kept insisting he needed to go to LTAC. LTAC stands for Long Term Acute Care, and is only really an option in the U.S., and it’s not a good option.

I’ve been making many videos about why you need to avoid LTAC. I’ve been blogging about this for many years. “Do not go to LTAC” and this is exactly what we helped this lady, and her father to avoid.

Then she continues, we just brought him home on July the first. He has been doing exceptionally well. He started eating within days and will hopefully not need the feeding tube within a week or so.
I wish we would have known about your service before we agreed to the surgery to supposedly remove the blood from his brain from his latest fall. After the surgery, they told us there was no pressure from the blood. Therefore, we’re not sure if it was indeed necessary or not. At least he’s now home and recovering. His speech has miraculously returned as well. Prior to this, his speech was unintelligible due to his advanced Parkinson’s. He’s now doing physical therapy and speech therapy and playing dominoes with his great grandkids.

I truly appreciate your insight and quick advice once we were able to get the hospital records. I will be recommending you to my friends, family, and anyone that may face an ICU situation. Thank you once again. And I would definitely know who to reach out to if we are faced with anything similar in the future.”

Thank you, Theresa for sharing this wonderful testimonial with us. I am very confidently saying here that we have saved many lives for our clients in intensive care with our advice. Because you don’t need to buy into the doom and gloom of intensive care teams if you get a second opinion.
You can create your own narrative, you can create your own outcomes, and your own results.

And we’ve shown this over and over and over again since 2013. This is how long we’ve been going here at intensivecarehotline.com. And you can verify everything that we’ve done on our testimonial section at intensivecarehotline.com. You can also verify it on our intensivecarehotline.com podcast section where we have done client interviews.

I have worked in critical care nursing for 25 years in three different countries where I worked as a nurse manager for over 5 years in intensive care. I’ve been consulting and advocating for families in intensive care since 2013 here at intensivecarehotline.com. I can very confidently say that we have saved many lives with our consulting and advocacy because of our insights. You can verify that on our testimonial section at intensivecarehotline.com. You can verify it on our intensivecarehotline.com podcast section where we have done client interviews because our advice is absolutely life changing.

The biggest challenge for families in intensive care is simply that they don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t know what to look for. They don’t know what questions to ask. They don’t know their rights, and they don’t know how to manage doctors and nurses in intensive care.

That’s why we help you to improve your life instantly, making sure you make informed decisions, have peace of mind, control, power, and influence, making sure your loved one gets best care and treatment always. That’s why you can join a growing number of members and clients that we have helped over the years, saving their loved ones’ lives.

That’s why I do one on one consulting and advocacy over the phone, Zoom, WhatsApp, whichever medium works best for you. I talk to you and your families directly. I handhold you through this once in a lifetime situation that you simply cannot afford to get wrong. When I talk to families directly, I also talk to doctors and nurses directly, asking all the questions that you haven’t even considered asking but must be asked when you have a loved one critically ill 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 a second opinion in real time. We also do medical record reviews after intensive care if in case you have unanswered questions, if you need closure, or if you are suspecting medical negligence.

We also have a membership for families of critically ill patients in intensive care, and you can become a member if you go to intensivecarehotline.com, if you intensivecarehotline.com, if you click on the membership link, or if you go to intensivecaresupport.org directly. In the membership, you have access to me and my team, 24 hours a day, in the membership area and via email, and we answer all questions intensive care related. In the membership, you also have exclusive access to 21 eBooks and 21 videos that I have personally written and recorded.
