- RTs don't like poop, so they'd simply hook up a suction catheter to that other end and suck it out, thus eliminating the need for changing the sheets and wiping.
- Instead of taking orders and being button pushers, RTs would be physician respiratory advisers. They would be called respiratory advisers (RA) instead of therapists.
- Bronchodilator breathing treatments would be given for bronchospasm.
- EKGs would be done by a high school student.
- Inserting art lines would be the RTs job, and they'd be inserted in all vent patients rather than at the convenience of the doctor.
- Mucomyst treatments would not be ordered because pt has phlegm in throat.
- RTs would get paid the same as RN
- RTs would have the same respect as RNs
- RTs would have an RT lounge with a TV, fridge, private restroom, free donuts, etc.
- All staff would get massages every four hours.
- There would be a TV in all ER rooms
- All treatments would be PRN all the time.
- No schedules, especially for people who are just on nebs because a doctor checked a box.
- COPDers with home nebs can give their own nebs and get a once-daily assessment to make sure they're meeting their needs.
This list is a work in progress. Feel free to help me out here.
