As a respiratory therapist this is the funniest one yet. Dont touch my vents!

I have probably had sleep apnea my entire life. But I didn't get diagnosed with it until about 1997 with a really severe case of it. The doctor was a Pulmonologist and the company sent a Respiratory Therapist out to my house to do the set-up. The machines were a lot less sophisticated than they are today and wwwwwaaaayyy louder! The masks were a lot harder TOO and hurt my face. There was just no way I could use it, so I told them to come and take it back. I ended up losing a lot of weight and having a submucous resection of my inferior turbinates with a ENT surgeon. Then, I got transferred over to Neurology where they found that I didn't have any REM stage of sleep at ALL! ( This is over decades) The Sleep medicine doctor advised me to switch psychiatric medications and I went back on CPAP treatment again. Then, I found out from my Dentist that I have Bruxism and have ground my teeth almost flat! NOW I'm currently wearing a night guard and using nasal pillows for my CPAP treatment. WHEW, what a long strange trip it's been! I'm currently about 159 lb. Down from my highest weight of 387 lb. And still hoping to continue towards a better way to keep breathing, sleeping and living! Thanks to ALL those who have helped me and those who are training to help others in these kinds of situations! Never give up on people no matter how long or what difficulties they might be facing! Warmest regards from Greensboro, NC USA.

In Canada back in the ‘80s, we had only 1 RT for the whole hospital. RNs did all vent changes, treatments, Trach care etc. Fast forward I moved to the US and worked in a trauma ICU. new vent settings were ordered so I changed the settings. RT was upset and asked who touched his vent. I told him new orders were placed so I changed them and after explaining RNs manage their own vents because we only have one RT at night did he calm down. That was when I learned the US has 1 RT for each ICU plus floor RTs.

My mom just got home after 6 months in the hospital on/off/on/off/on/off vent, pneumothorax, and C diff. Thank you Stanford Pulmonology!

IT's every doctor's responsibiliy to be irrationally angry at the other specialities for doing their own speciality wrong. And do I ever excel at that XD
