I. Fucking. Hate. This. Timeline. I will NEVER for the life of me understand why anyone wouldn’t treat every human being with the same decency and respect that they expect to receive. What is WRONG with us?

……I only have one personality, I swear.

$172,000? What are they giving the kids for the cruel and unusual punishment they suffered at the hands of these monsters? That phrase sounds familiar. Like it might be in an important document somewhere…. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/b...

In light of this morning’s events, I’m just going to leave this here. You don’t need a weapon to be a murderer. www.benefitspro.com/2023/11/16/u...

Sorry for the canned joke.

My year: 1. My favorite kid at the LTAC I work at suddenly died 2. I was forced to move out of the home I’d been living in for 8 years when the building was sold 3. My dear friend of 23 yrs died of liver cancer @ 41 4. Drs found a a 28cm tumor on my Mom’s ovary 5. Political hellscape Fuck you 2024

Optimist: The glass is half full. Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Respiratory Therapist: No! Albuterol won’t fix that!

Life ain’t lifing right at the moment. Send good juju into the universe for me and my family right now. My 2024 has been utter garbage.

THIS. In the beginning I suspected that COVID was a vascular disease & not a lung disease b/c of the other problems we were seeing. I would draw an ABG & the blood would clot b4 I could run a sample & yet, the pt would bleed profusely from any injection site. We assumed it was DIC. Excellent read.

Maybe I should introduce myself. I’m Jillian. Estd. 1980. I’m a respiratory therapist. Grad 2016. Working on my BSRT. ACCS certified. Worked the whole pandemic in the ICU. I have PTSD as a result. I also have ADHD, which only got diagnosed 2 years ago. It explains a lot. Have a BFA theatre/psych.

It was my absolute pleasure to treat some of the sweetest patients today. Love to see that Volara work. Chest physiotherapy is my jam. Literally. Nasty lung jam. #respiratorylife #cpt #chestphysiotherapy #respiratorytherapist

Shout out to anyone who: -got out of bed -showered -brushed their teeth -drank water -took their meds If you did any one of these things, you’re a rockstar. You are important. You are loved. Don’t listen to the brain weasels. They lie. #mentalhealth

The best life advice I’ve ever received. Thanks @roxiqt.com

I mean… Fuck Fascists.

Gods bless the research librarians. Without whom, I would not have any fucking clue what I am doing.
