Will need to leave this group if this garbage takes hold, thought we all had enough to worry about without making up crap!

Yes Kit's view seems a bit extreme.

I wasn’t well enough to register that I was naked for a month let alone being aware of a bias, others may have been more aware than me.

I’m so thankful for those that cared for me, I was in ICU long enough to witness the same care & humour helped to stabilise all that entered that ICU unit.

I always understood this forum was meant to offer support to any that enter, subject matters that are controversial or divisive aren’t helpful & maybe it is wiser to avoid for the common good.

I hope that the benefit of this forum always outweighs the other.

Best wishes moving forward Milesplatting -

Today I found my patient diary , 2 years after the event. Anyone who says the staff dont care are so wrong. The daily messages of support in the diary are extremely moving. I am going to send the ICU another card, bless them.
