ICU, Intensive Care Unit.
Here, it is the closest place to death; here, healthcare professionals face life and death head-on with every patient. Here is the gateway to life, the place where life and death are adjudicated, and where medical doctors fight for their lives, battling with death with technology, instruments, and love.
The patient waits here, and if he passes, he will be reborn; if he can't pass, he will die. Many people may be unfamiliar with ICU, and perhaps some will never deal with ICU in their lives. But for those who have been in the ICU, I'm sure they will never forget it.
