I see people recover, with smiles [...]

Closer to greet, to say how patient is today, get a smile to relatives who come forward to good news and just finish. They give thanks you with their soul. Let's go back to the root of this profession.Why [...]

Hi all, my dear friends. Today double post, since approaching the summer time, to share with you a very special video of the European society of intensive care (ESICM). A few weeks ago they published the video The 4 Elements Every ICU Needs, and which amazed me as many of you that have already seen it. So I contacted Sherry [...]

All of us have heard about people with Asperger's Syndrome, PDD (pervasive developmental disorder), ADHD (with or without Hyperactivity Attention Deficit Disorder) and autism. But only a few know their characteristics and, much less, how they are going to react to being patient as a ICU patient.Since I work on this blog I've done myself many questions because my two daughters are affected by ADHD- and I hope if [...]

Hola a tod@s my beloved rogue! Although the article was written in 2012, I think that it is totally valid.The health care workers get sick to try that people do not.I want to share this article published in El Pais, written after the publication of the study by SATSE called Perception of stress of nurses in Spain.Its results leave no [...]

Hola a tod@s, my dear rogue: Without a doubt, this has been a special Congress for many reasons. Congratulations again to the Organization, which has certainly been at the height of the magnitude of the meeting.But I'll take the fundamental idea that the bases for the humanization of the ICU has been created. For me, one of the best topics [...]
