Denise Smith is a life-long resident of the Lehigh Valley, PA. She is a reluctant writer, but felt compelled to share the experience her family, especially her mother, had with a sedative drug, Propofol in her first book. Denise’s goal is to start a conversation about the side effects of Propofol and the little known post-traumatic stress disorder associated with an intensive care unit stay.
Denise and her family have begun working to become a resource for ICU survivors in the form of information sessions and monthly support groups to aid other patients.
