You know, I always wanted to be a pilot. Being an RT sort of just happened to me. And I like it. Just like any other job it has its ups and downs, but on the whole? It’s not too bad. Pretty much I spend my days wandering around in the ICU managing ventilators and sucking mucous and blood out of people like some sort of grotesque underpaid vampire. I do get frustrated by the utter futility of a lot of what I spend my days doing, and more than once I’ve wanted to pound someone elses my head against a wall over and over to let the stress out. But on the whole, being an RT is a decent job.
And I will never, ever have to have a night quite like this one. You have no idea how much that pleases me.
You forgot to add that your job gives you possession of the all-powerful panacea known as the nebulizer treatment, capable of treating everything from asthma and scurvy to traumatic amputation.
hahaha- that is so funny and so true- Albuterol: the cure all! Hoorah!
