I learned a lot about how each profession works together and individually to help each patient. I was very interested in how Chelsea, the Respiratory Therapist, is involved in the health care team. I originally wanted to become a Respiratory Therapist and didn’t realize how important they are to a patient’s well-being. As I was listening to her point of view in the medical field, I learned how she is a major part of a patient’s recovery due to the priority assessment of the ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation). Her job is to maintain a vital part of life by using medications, machinery, and knowledge to accurately care for each patient’s respiratory needs.
