There seems to be a big gap in best practice medicine in getting any Ntm patient refered to a respiratory therapist, I have Mycrobacterium lentiflavin. Recent dx of pseudomonas Oryzihabitans. Both not common. Off to JNH very soon. This group is a good for getting your questions answered. With Covid demand has increased for respitory therapists. Good luck, watch the videos.

My pulmonologist thinks it would an excellent idea to refer me to a respiratory therapist, but there are none in the area. When I search "respiratory therapist" all I get are job openings! If someone were looking for a career opportunity in the health care field, I think is the need is great and will only increase.
