Doctors working in the intensive care unit manage the most critically ill patients in a hospital, with a team often led by an intensive care specialist.

On this month’s episode of Humans of Healthcare, consultant intensivist Dr Premela Naidu Sitaram joins me to shed more light on her role and to encourage our young doctors to consider this as a career path.
