Respiratory Therapy
The field I wish to pursue is that of respiratory therapy. When I was a child was when my first interest in respiratory therapy was aroused. As a child I was sick a great deal with various lung ailments that required frequent hospitalizations. I would always revel in the fact that how intelligent and courtesy the respiratory therapist were that took care of me. They were so good at what they did and they always made me "feel better." I wanted to be like them. That thought had never deviated since I decided that was what I wanted to do. (1)Respiratory therapy is a result of specialization trends of the late 60's in health care.

The therapist must temper their relations in dealing with each specific individual. This is done only under pre-laid plans by physicians that have already set plans of what should be done. Even though most of the time the practitioner knows how to manage their patients effectively many hospital pollicies won't allow them too. The therapist must be able to communicate concisely and clearly why something should be done. Physicians and nurses often times overlook things and it should be the therapist's job to correct them.
