> The ICU is filled with old people.

What else would you expect? Health deteriorates as people age, so old people, having deteriorated for a longer amount of time, will generally need more health care.

Good insights overall, though.

I actually thought the article was narcissistic and shallow, and I didn't find the author to have anywhere near the experiences or qualifications to make the judgments in his article. The contributions in this thread have been orders of magnitude more interesting than the OP.

A lot of medical dramas and things that shape people's perceptions portray ICUs are filled with exciting and puzzling cases that need to be solved.
