Teddy Tun Win HLA @teddyhla.bsky.social · 04/04/2025💯 I remember one of my old boss teaching me “don’t make <insert management or government or funding> do their rationing. If you as clinician think patient needs an icu level care that is the end of the matter”. I reflect on this a lot actually  032
Mathieu Desgroseilliers @matdesgro.bsky.social · 03/04/2025It is in line with the best definition of intensive care. Humans caring for critically ill humans & their families is at the heart of our job We shouldn’t fooled ourselves with machines, Critical Care is, & should be, a very human unit. pubmed.ncbi.nm.nih.gov/4014625. 010
