This wasn't an episode I expected to record.
When news broke that Mayo Clinic would be removing overnight bedside respiratory therapists from several facilities, I had an emotional reaction. I'll admit it.
As someone who has spent years advocating for respiratory therapy, it felt personal.
But after sitting with it, I realized what bothered me most wasn't the decision itself. It was what the decision represents.
Respiratory therapists bring a unique skill set to the bedside. We see things differently. We assess differently. We often recognize problems before they become emergencies.
Most of the time, that expertise may never be needed.
But when it is needed, it matters.
That's the part that concerns me. Not the routine nights. Not the quiet shifts. The one patient who suddenly decompensates. The one emergency that requires someone who understands respiratory care at a deeper level.
That's what I believe may be missing from this conversation.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. What role do you think bedside respiratory therapists play in patient care?
