ICUs are amazing technology. You can keep almost anyone in a temporary state of stasis. This is great for people who have a condition that just needs more time to heal (like a lot of people with Covid, or people after car accidents). But for people who have something unrecoverable, it’s a very weird place to be. You’ve been pushed off the ledge and are now frozen in midair. You will hit the ground when the magic is removed, but you also can’t stay frozen forever.
