My wife was in ICU with Pneumonia and multi organ failure.iI was called into the office where the consultant stated there was nothing more they could do and she would probably pass away within 24 hrs.I went back to her bedside distraught only to be told by the nurse that she had worked on ICU for over twenty years and a patient's will to live is as important as the care they are given,some patients who should live die because they havent the will to survive and the reverse happens in people who should really die.
She said "I've got to know Lisa over the last few days, ,she's got spirit and having two young children everything to live for,don't listen to the the medical evidence im sure she will survive.
The next day she started to improve and left the hospital ten days later. |
