Apathetic?
You're an RT, and you're a thinker.You often find yourself saying things like:"So, why am I doing this?Q4 Albuterol nebulizers are ordered, and you think,"Is heart failure an indication for this?"An EKG is ordered, and you think:"Is a hangnail an indication for this?"Two hours into your shift you feel it:
Burnout!
The rest of your shift you feel, well, Apathetic!You find yourself complaining to your co-workers.Am I dong a good job of describing you?If so, we have the perfect remedy.
The Remedy!
You're one of those respiratory therapists who says to yourself, "So, why am I doing this?" You often find the answer is, "there is no reason!"Thus, you find you are running around ragged for no frickin reason.It's completely understandable,and you definitely are not alonethe solution is a... FRONTAL LOBOTAMY That's righta complete disiction of the respiratory thinkum

Hilarious post.
It reminds me of the House episode “Ignorance is Bliss” (Season 6, Ep. 8)
Where the guy (who’s a former child prodigy) is miserable and lonely, so he dumbs himself down by taking large amounts of cough syrup daily.
Thank you for keeping it real and voicing the prevalent side of our profession.
I wonder how many RT’s feel like taking the cough syrup or the lobotomy?
