Movies.. Respiratory .. FALSE!
Something Random , RT ruins hollywood movies
I was watching an old movie a few weeks back. I don’t recall what movie it was but the situation was a patient was in because he was in a car accident. This movie has nothing to do with medical but at one scene there was this.
A doctor was going to suction and talking to the patients family but the situation ( storyline of the movie) He grabbed the suction catheter without sterilizing hisself and with ordinary gloves, he suctions! WHAT!? You can’t do that. haha yea that was my reaction and my friend was like “i dont get it” O well… there goes all the movies I’m going to watch with all the medical scene.
Also I’m not much of a RAP music fan anymore but I was on my ipod the other day and a song from 50 cent -Patiently Waiting. He raps and since hes talking about people dying there is this audio sound of a patient in the OR and sounds like hes on a Vent and on a cardiac monitor. If you listen closly all you hear is inhaltion and a beep. I actually counted how fast it was and at this rate his RR (respiratory rate is 48) hahah.
Alright for you new students like me…everything respiratory turns into an assement from your view

They should hire RT consultants to keep the movies and TV shows in line and accurate!! Cartoons are the same way…and another thing, Respiratory Therapist doing cartoons. What’s that all about. They should stick to what they do best NOT cartooning. I felt so strongly about that, I quit RT! I mean “so long” and “goodbye” and I took up cartooning. I learned from the masters…I wanted to show that RTs can excel at cartooning!! I made it. Whew…after all that work I became a syndicated cartoonist. (Really, I did) Now I want to get back into RT and all people say is…what!! you’re that cartoonist/RT. We don’t hire cartoonists. Cartoonists shouldn’t try to be RTs. Stick to what you do best. Go back to your drawing board. So I did…since you can’t take the RT out of the cartoonist I created a book of RT (threw in other hospital type) cartoons. You be the judge if they are any good. I don’t think the book will be on some RT professor’s reading list…yet. If the book isn’t worth a hoot I’ll have to hire a RT consultant.
