Man I’m literally crying listening to her explanation. It’s a perfect way to explain it. It’s exactly how it happens for a lot of people.
Thank you, Susanne, for sharing your experiences. Your testimonial must lead us to ask after each intubation, "Is there an indication for sedation?". I have treated innumerable volumes of patients that have been awake and walking on the ventilator. There was not an indication for sedation in your case, but a cultural habit of automatically placing patients into a coma just for being on mechanical ventilation. May your voice guide us to practice evidence-based medicine and prevent such trauma and harm in future patients.
It was great to hear an experience from the patient’s perspective. As an upcoming nurse, it’s shows how important it is to continue to reassure and reorientate our patients. As for the ADHD (not to diagnosis), it seems more aligned with PTSD. After going through a traumatic situation, our brains tend to process the stressful moment/s continuously. For someone that wants to return to their baseline, it can be frustrating because it doesn’t go away right away. I feel from personal experience, I counteracted it by keeping myself extremely busy, which can look a lot like inattentiveness.
it is always good to hear first had perspective on all situations we haven't expereinced or don't understand.
ADHD is on the rise especially now when attention focus is trying to be held at 60 sec intervals and quick snippets. It's almost as is society needs to slow down after years of trying to speed everything up.
Keeping busy may look and feel good but there is a vice to it's extreme, many people use work as a way to not focus on something they should. Take it one step at a time and one day at a time. Keep staying aware of your your struggles, it takes a lot of attention but it'll stop you from falling into your own trap. Keep figuring things out you know how to help yourself best and don't forget to talk about it to someone, it's always good to get an outside perspective.
Wishing you the best!
Thank you!
Thank you, we had a great conversation.
