Toxic Work Environment in the ICU Workplace

Everyone happens to have a bad day at work, especially when it comes to a closed department and a stressful environment such as the ICU. It may be the fault of an unsuccessful medical procedure, a patient with a poor outcome, the traffic on the street, a dissatisfied relative patient or, more importantly, the poor cooperation of the department staff. Whatever it is that worries us, it is enough to make us lose our mood and not be able to wait until it is time to go home. But there is a difference between "having a bad day" and feeling sick at work every day.

If the atmosphere is constantly electrified, there are major communication problems, constant pressure and a complaint, and then something is wrong.
