I've been reading posts on this forum that everybody hates them and that they cost money and do different nebs in the same cup? What are they actually supposed to do? I've never heard of them before or such dispicible practice occuring in a hospital/tune up environment.
So what is an RT?

Yea, RT stands for "Respiratory Therapist"

essentially the person who comes into the room to do a patients breathing treatments... most really dont have extensive if any knowledge on cf (i know right!) and so often times it is very frustrating to pay someone so much money when you do a better job...

Im sure lots of us could go on and on, but I think thats a good "quickie" explanation

oops! ymikhale reminded me that "my" experience is based off of my american hospital system, although I am sure there is plenty of variety just within our system.

What's an

Well, here in France RT plays a major role in the treatment. They make house calls and do your CPT on a daily basis. They are actually quite knowledgable about CF and can often spot that something is brewing before one becomes aware of it (particularly helpful when one has a kid w/cf).
