My mom works the night shift as a icu respiratory therapist in New York. She’s in her late 60s. In her position, she’s the last line of defense when people stop breathing. She has to spend 12hrs straight wrapped up in all this protective gear. Please leave a nice comment. She needs some good words!

Respiratory therapists probably have the most under appreciated job in all of healthcare. Most people haven’t even heard of a respiratory therapist but they keep patients alive. As an MRI tech, I always feel like we are kindred spirits in the undervalued disciplines of healthcare. I always have good conversations with RTs. You’re mom does very important work and deserves a pay raise for what she does.
