I'm considering respiratory therapy as a possible career choice, but am concerned that the profession may be to reliable on modern technology (ventilators, aerosol meds. etc) for it to be viable post-peak. Is anyone else familiar with the profession, or know anyone involved in it? In my research, I haven't exactly been able to gauge how much of their work genuine healtcare (patient contact, assessment, diagnosis, treatment) and how much is adjusting knobs and pressing buttons.
Thanks for any input.
