Dr. Gur Raj Deol is a graduate of Guru Gobind Singh Medical College.

"Without any exaggeration, Dr. Deol almost killed my wife. After, wrongly, being diagnosed with lung cancer, not by Dr. Deol, we scheduled a bronchoscopy. While in her lungs he found a liquid and drained it. More of the yellow liquid appeared. He made the decision to "push it back into the avioli" using air pressure although he--admittedly--didn't know what the liquid was. After this the yellow liquid hardened into a rubber-like substance. when the lungs expelled the substance her lung collapsed causing respiratory failure. If it wasn't for a couple of great ER doctors, life flight, and an incredible ICU team at UW I would have lost my 35 year old wife. Since then I have found others that have had similar experiences with him. I can stand poor bed side manners, which his are very poor. I can put up with egotistical people, which he is one. I can even handle someone lying to me and the hospital to cover their behind, which he did. But, if someone almost kills my family and then has the balls to lie to other doctors which could have prevented her from getting better, I think that's a reasonable place to say THIS PERSON SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING MEDICINE! Unfortunately, I don't think it will end until he kills someone. Don't let it be you."

What is Critical Care?

Critical care, or intensive care medicine, is the delivery of medical care to patients whose illness or injury is so seriously life threatening that they would likely die without intervention. It usually takes place in ICUs or trauma centers. It is referred to as critical care in North America, while it is called intensive care or intensive therapy in the rest of the world. Specialists in this field are sometimes referred to as intensivists.

Critical care may encompass a broad variety of medical specialties in the efforts to save a patient's life. Critical care specialists must have a good knowledge of anesthesiology, surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and other specialties. Besides their medical knowledge, intensivists must know a great deal about end-of-life issues, including ethics, advanced directives, and family counseling and bereavement.

Critical care is a relatively modern specialty, which developed along with ICUs beginning in the 1950's. It looks different from regular medicine, and it can be recognized by the presence of more nurses, more monitoring, more invasive monitors and procedures, and the presence of life-sustaining therapies such as mechanical ventilators and vasopressors.

Specialists in critical care frequently have to make urgent and complex decisions. They use their knowledge and skill to provide intensive care to the most fragile patients and do their best to save lives.
