Critical Care Unit
Description
Patients who have had a stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) often have little or no memory of their ICU stay. Research has suggested that patients can become stressed and anxious when they do not fully understand what has been wrong with them. To help patients understand more about their illness and critical care stay the staff write patient diaries.
