This role involved more of a diverse population of patients than the cardiac ICU. Med-Surg ICU, took in more generalized acute and chronic issues such as respiratory distress, end-stage liver disease, mental health crisis and addiction, unstable diabetics, post-cardiac arrest recovery, end-stage ulcerative colitis and diverticulitis, cancers of all sorts, infectious diseases (especially COVID), chronic wounds, GI bleeding.
