I’ve spent a lot of time with family members in ICUs recently, and amused myself estimating costs. Most people actually contacting the patient are not well-paid (I looked it up). And they actually attend to the patient <20% of time despite “intensive” term.

(Maybe that’s different in burn units, I don’t know.)

Total cost of all equipment in the room is negligible compared with day rate. (I looked it up. I was bored. You can google the model number of a cardiac monitor or whatever and get the price immediately.)

Did you take notes? Would love to read the more detailed version.

Afraid not... I hope you never have to spend time in an ICU but if you do it’s a way of passing the time
