The conclusion of all this is: Shut down the internet and go outside in the woods - look, listen, smell, in- and exhale and be thankful that you are alive. Let them play their wicked games………

I’m an ICU nurse in a busy trauma center and several of my successful interactions with acutely delirious patients involved some level of perception “manipulation” with the goal of getting nurse-patient collaboration. Bravo to this interview which casts light on the human psyche and how to navigate critical moments in life. 👏👍
