May 2024: Mental Health Awareness Month
ICU fatigue by Victoria Metaxa
During this month of May, we are trying to raise awareness through a special series of insightful interviews with intensivists that will be presented weekly. For this fourth week, the video’s protagonist is Victoria Metaxa talking about ICU Fatigue.
“Compassion fatigue is this emotional, physical and psychological tireness that people feel when they care about the other people that have been through stress”.
“If you are fatigued, if you are burned out, then you don’t like your work. You are not good at your work. And then, ultimately, you leave your work”.
This May, let’s start conversations, raise awareness, and support each other in our journey toward better mental health. Together, we can make a difference.
