Her name is Cristina and she is 36 years old. And she says that having this landscape opposite has helped her a lot, because in moments in which she was scared or suffering, it was not the same having opposite a wall or a beautiful landscape. And to look at the mountains relaxing and helping her to sleep. She told me this with a wonderful sweetness.
Some months I could read in the blog Advances on Clinical Management by Jordi Varela, that at John Hopkins Hospital have replaced the surveys to patients by random personal interviews random, for rating the welfare and the patients satisfaction by initiative of Peter Pronovost. And I agree. That´s why we have pointed to this form of knowing the impact of what we do.
Cristina told me that when I visited her one Monday, to ask what it had seemed to her, and tell her what we had prepared on Saturday morning while she was in the operating room (for a more than nine hours surgery). As fast as we could, assisted in their spare time, Vicente and Urbano (they must be named, although they do not want to) and Regis removing and putting plugs, we put a bit of integrative medicine in the life of this woman.
With very unstable or unconscious patients, really it´s the same. Do you imagine waking in the ICU with this image instead of a cold wall? This is a huge change, and really makes the difference.Now, we want our patients could see beyond the wall, and for this we will bring a piece of nature with all the energy that this entails (Elena Lorente… how much I remember you!).
Here is a making off video. The music… A luxury. Gabi spoke with Música en Vena to use “The healing son”, masterfully interpreted by Natalí Castillo and a fantastic band.
‘A balm for your wounden pulse… A field for hope… “.”
