Summary: As a Respiratory Therapist, I’ve cared for patients with chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma or emphysema, to sleep apnea. I interview and examine patients with breathing and/or cardiopulmonary disorders. Sometimes it’s as simple as Patient/family education with equipment or technique. Training in hospital as well as home care settings. Microsoft Suite Organizational Skills, Team Player, Detail Oriented, Communication Skills, and Multi-Tasking are all important parts of my Job.

Lincare Homecare Oxygen

when I started at Lincare there were a lot of patients who were under-educated. Due to that, they were either not using their CPAP or were uninterested. So I went out and educated them on mask fit, the pros, and cons of cpap, and increased patient usage of cpaps.
