I think I am finding a little direction
Posted by thestarved on October 26, 2007
When I started this program (respiratory therapy) I wasn’t too sure as to why. All I know is that I came into the school looked up and saw a poster saying the “Breath of Life”. Hey, seemed powerful enough to pull me in. Some people in this program have a specific reason as to why they joined this specific program their child has asthma, they have asthma, they were premature you get the idea. Well I am not trying to be dramatic, but so far I love therapeutics. I don’t know why, I just do, I know it is going to get harder this is the only the first week of therapeutics 1. Well today I think, I think I may have found my calling. I was looking up hyperbaric chambers, and what hyperbaric chambers do is give 100% O2 at subatmospheric pressures. This can do a lot of things, but the 2 things that caught my attention is that is has been used in the treatment of autistic children and it helps impove their cognition and a variety of other things, also it helps children with ADHD. I thought that this is amazing, and it interests me more than sleep medicine, trauma, or even NICU. I don’t want to sound dramatic, but we will see if this will be my thing. Who knows, anything possible right? I just think that giving those type of children and their families a reall hope and a brighter kind of life, is nothing but GOD SENT, and a blessing.
