    The “Walking Home from ICU” episode with Caleigh was so inspirational. I am nurse and experienced an unexpected long hospitalization in an ICU and was on a ventilator for 15 days. I experienced many hallucinations and was traumatized by the inability to communicate. My delirium trauma still persists when I go to work a year later. It’s better but I still have triggers. I hope to inspire our ICU to consider a change in practice. Thank you for discussing this important aspect of health.

  • Mind blown

    I’m a nurse in a small medical ICU. I’ve been searching for a way to do more, a way to know that what we’re doing is actually helping to heal the patient. This podcast is exactly what I need. I can’t stop listening. I can’t stop shaking my head in awe. I always knew mobility was medicine but I did not realize how powerful of a medicine it was. This is my new gospel.

  • such important advocacy

    So many of us who survived the ICU were never told about Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), or how severely it might affect us and our families. Even more distressing than that, so many ICU staff seem either not to know about PICS at all, or not to really grasp the severity of it.

    Kali Dayton advocates for us. She advocates to the medical profession to really look at and see what’s going on and challenges them to do better, and she advocates to our friends and families to understand the dep... more

  • Great points, but strongly biased.

    I agree with the points Kali makes and very much appreciate her advocacy for mobility, less sedation and more humane care. However I find that she often puts words into the mouths of those she interviews and a lot of her points come across as overly opinionated. I will continue to listen, however and would hope that any and all ICU providers would take the time to hear these stories. We have a lot of room for improvement in the ICU and she is paving to way to make things better.
