Mastering Intensive Care is returning from being offline for a full 12 months. In this episode, I ask you to ponder, “how are you going?” after the lengthy pandemic, which has lulled after the worst of the storm but has not yet settled into a state of calm.
Whilst few intensive care clinicians have actively diminished what we’ve been through over the last few years, the relentless world of Intensive Care continues unabated. There have been many learnings from the pandemic, but we mustn’t sweep the emotions we’ve witnessed under the carpet.
As you listen to this shorter episode than usual, I hope you’ll ponder questions about how you have managed yourself during the pandemic, both individually and in your local ICU community. I share what I’ve witnessed in myself and my colleagues before offering a few thoughts on where we might focus our actions in recovering from what we’ve been through.
Thank you for listening as I use this opportunity to reinvigorate this podcast after 12 months of languishing.
