Never Talk to an Intensivist

2nd edition: Revised. When the doors of the intensive care unit close, ordinary people are left with only darkness. There is no greater fear than the unknown. Especially when it concerns the health of loved ones. Unfamiliar terminology, complex names... of medications, and unknown procedures instill more fear than the illness itself. In the book, the author—a practicing intensivist—reveals the inner workings of the intensive care unit and what lies behind the sparse comments of doctors. Raziya Volokhova explains the most common and surprisingly rare diagnoses faced in the unit. About doctors, medical staff, and patients themselves—the main actors. The author not only discusses treatment but also how to avoid the consequences of inaction by patients and their families, which paradoxically often occurs in intensive care.
