Hospitals and Healthcare

I went into the hospital knowing nothing about our healthcare system. Those three weeks taught me life lessons that will never leave me.

Adam Fitzpatrick, 20, was left brain-dead after “mistakes were made” in the intensive care unit of a major Sydney hospital.

A team from Stillwater Medical Center in Oklahoma tries valiantly to save the life of a man who needs an ICU bed. Will they find a bed for him before times runs out?

A visit to the intensive care unit is always going to be unpleasant, but knowing what you're in for can make the experience less daunting and run a little smoother.

Research shows that more than half of patients in intensive care don't get enough nutrition.

Patients, even those not suffering from COVID-19, now suffer “in a medical version of solitary confinement.”

A lot has changed in COVID treatment since the pandemic began. Here are the treatments you can expect — from being diagnosed, to going to hospital, and for those who need to be cared for in ICU.

When patients, doctors and nurses have the opportunity to share their experiences of hospital intensive care, the resulting dialogue can be transformative.
