In our LiveTalk series, Being Patient spoke with Dr. E. Wesley Ely, professor of medicine and critical care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, about how many patients who survive a stay at the intensive care unit go on to experience symptoms of dementia, mental health issues and physical ailments. Ely’s new book Every Deep-Drawn Breath tells their stories, and his own mission to reclaim the humanity in critical care.  For more on what you need to know about being in the ICU: https://www.icudelirium.org/
