  • http://is.gd/2H3I9 via the Respiratory Therapy 101 blog, a vignette about an RN who didn't know what a trach is! (I've been there) #
  • This year I met a nursing SUPERVISOR who mistook a feeding pump for the ventilator, and a DOCTOR who couldn’t turn oxygen off and on. #
  • Why are respiratory BASICS so foreign to so many nurses and doctors?? #

    Had to go see my doctor yesterday. Nurse took my pulse. Said it was 96! My pulse has NEVER been 96. Usually hangs out around 72. She took my BP: 120/80. Even I know those two figures conflict. So I asked her to take my pulse again. Sure enough it was 72! BUT, I had to ask her to retake it. She wouldn't have otherwise. Glad she's not a doctor, or worse, a surgeon.
