Monitored by a quality assurance tech to ensure the system is working properly. With budgets getting tighter and technology advancing GE will replace our entire field of "practice". Bio-Chem tech will replace the need for therapies all together. What are we going to do then? I am a therapist and agree with the term RT's in general are lazy and not really interested. Most of them push buttons like they are told to or think they know what they are talking about based on what they've seen not so much with a deep understanding of physiology, chemistry, and biology.
