Critical care is specialized care of patients whose conditions are life-threatening and who require comprehensive care and constant monitoring, usually in intensive care units it is also known as intensive care. Physicians specializing in critical care are called intensivists. They manage complex diseases and injuries by providing comprehensive care and promoting recovery and overall well-being.

He has appeared on television and in news reports on current topics, controversial medical issues, and new technologies and interventions.

He writes “I have dedicated my life to the world of critical care and to the lives of those it touches. It is a world of rapid evolution and occasional revolution; a world filled with technology, innovation, and chaos. The role of the multidisciplinary critical care team is to reign in this chaos and return the harmony that is life. . . I have been blessed with the good fortune to enjoy each of these aspects of the world of critical care, but true fulfillment is in the teaching, in the sharing and in the experiencing life as a physician with those who choose that life for themselves. Being a physician is not what we do, it is who we are.”
