RT Sidebar

Today's show is a live discussion with Edi Mesa. Edi details her life story about how she became diagnosed with lung cancer and COPD. Edi describes her life and growing up in hospitals, especially around RTs.  RTs have saved her life on many occasions by being an advocate for her during hospital admissions. Edi finishes up by describing what makes a great RT, and what we can do as a profession to make our patient's hospital stays better.Show notes:Join our Linkedin Group - www.vtherm.com/rtsidebar-linkedin and be a part of the community!Join RT Sidebar's next LIVE recording by registering here.If you have a suggestion for a guest speaker or topic, complete this form.Do you know of an RT who deserves a shoutout on the pod?
