755 Transforming Healthcare Through Advocacy with Lee Powers

Share This Post

Show Summary:

Today, I’m joined by an amazing alum of The Big Talk Academy Mastery, Lee Powers. You may remember Lee from Episode 741 that released in April, where I featured her big talk, “A Nurse’s Awakening from a Coma: Lessons Learned from Being the Patient.”

Lee is a nurse, speaker, and advocate with decades of experience. After surviving a patient assault that left her on a ventilator in the ICU, she founded ICUiCare™ to humanize critical-care recovery through education and advocacy, empowering patients, families, and healthcare teams to solve complex health challenges and rebuild lives.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

  • The value of pharmacogenetic testing in preventing medication complications
  • The number of ICU survivors affected by Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), and why more people aren’t talking about it
  • How medicine often operates on a one-size-fits-all approach, and how you can become a better advocate for your healthcare
  • Her current favorites: Book: Man’s Search for Meaning and Speaker: Tricia
