Just wanted to give a shout out to my fellow respiratory therapists that visit the DIS. This is our week to teach people more about our profession. I know we are often under appreciated but we are a valuable resource. I love my job! Hope you all have a great week. :hug:

My brother is a Respiratory Therapist. I will be sure to call him this week!
 
My sister is too! They just cut her back from full-time to PRN sadly. Hope this isn't a common thing happening everywhere. You guys really are under-appreciated!
 
DS#1 is a respiratory therapist. He loves it.
 

a BIG thank you to all respiratory therapists from this VERY grateful asthmatic who suffers bronchitis so badly at least once each year that i have stopped breathing! you guys ROCK!
 
It really is a great job! We get picked on for sucking snot all day or just giving people breathing treatments but it is so much more than that. Thankfully they have not cut back at our facility as of yet. They are actually getting ready to hire more! :goodvibes I work at a large teaching hospital in the area. So if anyone is looking for a RT job in NC pm me and I will tell you which hospital and how to put in an application.

So glad one of us could help you. It is stories like this that just make me smile knowing we helped someone. The fall and weather changes are coming fast so make sure to take care of yourself!
 
LuvtheMouse88 I'll ask my sister if she's interested in going back into a hospital. Last time I asked she wasn't.
 
Whew, what an apropos week! My allergies are giving me such asthma, I feel like my lungs and throat are full of cotton!

Thank goodness for ALL of you!
 
AKL Megs do you take something for your allergies on a daily basis? If not, that can help you from having asthma symptoms due to your allergies when the weather changes. We see that a lot this time of the year and in the spring.
 
Thank you from a grateful RN! The less suctioning I have to do, the better! (It's the one thing that skeeves me out!)

Yes, but I often forget. I made it worse today, as it is warm outside, and I spent much of the afternoon outside, stupidly. I use Proventil on days like today!
 
Thank you WL Fan. I appreciate what all you RN's do as well. I can do from waist up but waist down is all you lol!
 
:worship: All hail the Respiratory Therapists! Here's another RN giving you props. My DH has stage 4 sarcoidosis w/pulmonary fibrosis so he's on a buttload of meds & inhalers. He uses oxygen at night, needs CPAP but can't tolerate it. The RTs that have helped him have been very professional and caring. DH gets really sick about twice a year and when he goes to the hospital he always goes straight to CCU. We are very grateful for the round the clock respiratory support. Ya'll never seem rushed and you always take the time to explain stuff. EVen though I'm an RN, I don't know much about adult pulmo. And even if I did, when he's sick all my nursing knowledge goes out the window. Thanks for taking care of ME as much as you're taking care of HIM. :thumbsup2
