Description:
I started the Intensive care follow-up clinic to try to make sense of my work with critical patients and get feedback from their physical recovery. Over time, I verified that the patients presented not only physical effects, but that they maintained psychological and cognitive changes. They also suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as survivors of war or other catastrophes would, which may last for years because of their near death experience.
