Ever wondered what happens to patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)? What should you expect to see if you visit someone? What will you see on your first day as a medical student or resident?

This video shows you want to expect so that you won't be as nervous or shocked when you arrive. The ICU can be a difficult place to visit, because it often means someone you care about is quite sick. Just know that there are so many people who are happy to answer questions and try to make the experience better for you.
