I've worked in ICUs; this is mostly accurate except for a few things. Older individuals do probably occupy most ICU beds but this really depends on the ICU. Some are dominated by acute traumatic injuries which can actually skew younger. The observation about attendings is accurate, but as one of those psychiatry and neurology consults, the gripes can go both ways. ICU physicians have a reputation for ignoring long term consequences of decisions. So you end up with a lot of "can they go off a ventilator? then they're fine" stuff. This is reasonable in some ways but sometimes there are patients who will probably predictably be ok and attending more to consequences 10 years later makes a huge difference in the rest of the life of the patient. Also, some ICUs are actually very neuro heavy depending on patient populations.
