The service Dayton ICU Consulting provided was exceptional and above expectations.
As an ICU medical director, I have had to unlearn what has been taught to us over the years and what we thought was right. When I started listening to Kali’s Walking Home From The ICU podcast, I felt profound sadness and guilt for what we have done to other human beings while thinking what we’re doing is right.
I have changed my practice and we had Dayton ICU Consulting at our hospital in each of our intensive care units for multiple sessions. It was eye-opening for the staff, especially the bedside RNs.
