Summary

Retired Respiratory Therapist with extensive experience at FF Thompson Hospital, adept at enhancing patient outcomes through tailored treatment plans and education. Skilled in BLS and ACLS, I excel in building strong interpersonal relationships with elderly patients, utilizing patience and humor to foster a supportive environment. Committed to collaborative care in critical cases. I now wish to move to a slower track. I feel I could do a great deal of good as a companion to those in need of a one-on-one sitter. I have all the necessary skills to deal with any health problem should one arise, but I'm no longer looking for the adrenaline rush. I also live 272 yards away so availability is pretty much a given.
