My Old Kentucky Lungs

Joined by my friend Susan Lawson, RRT, and Pulmonary Rehabilitation queen for a really great discussion. What's life like on the pulmonary rehab side of patient care and what do we all need to know. 

We cover a host of important issue such as the most popular RT potluck items, music with the words breathe in the title, being an RT Traveler, and other vitally important issues that will make your life that much better

We talk with Josh Curtis, a Clinical Applications Specialist for Hamilton Medical and learn about what its like to transition to the vendor/sales side of healthcare and steps he took and recommends for others thinking about this type of career transition

In this episode, we sit down with RT Assessor, COPD Foundation State Captain, and Committee Chair for KSRC, Patti Gilpin, RRT. We talk about her career and how she came to be in her current role managing RT Protocols at a large hospital system. She also shares her advice on career planning, and how to potentially get into a 'non-traditional' role.

On this episode of My Old Kentucky Lungs (improved audio), we sit down with Tim Hadden and Mike Bennett of Lexington, KY. and talk education, before and after graduation, and how far ventilators have come over the past century.

We sit down with Louisville's Tami Cappelletti from the American Lung Association. We talk about her days as a bedside RT, the MA-1 vent, lung health and legislation in Kentucky, cigs and vaping, and how volunteering can help advance your career.

We sit down with Thomas Pilletteri, a registered nurse in Louisville, KY. We talk shop, the Vanderbilt nursing incident, finishing NP program, and where we see our professions growing and collaborating.
