This study explores the emotional impact of potentially traumatic events on intensivists in intensive care units. Themes include symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), burnout, and the dual experience of traumatic memories as either burdensome or purposeful. The findings highlight the need for psychological support systems for ICU doctors to manage trauma exposure effectively.
