RTlyrics Guest Book Archive

THE GUEST BOOK ARCHIVES

The following area is comprised of all of the guest book entries that we have received from December 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002. We have chosen to present them in this format for ease of viewing, as opposed to paging through several areas of the existing guest book. We have taken great pains to ensure that the transcribed verbiage is an exact match of the author’s original words. As writers, nothing bugs us more than someone who takes it upon themselves to edit or “improve” our work (see “The Advance Saga” as a good example). So what follows is a faithful re-creation of all the signatures we have received. For completeness sake, we feel obligated to inform you of a couple of things. First, some people chose to make their entry private, that is, viewable to only the managers of the site (us). For those entries, the first name and last initial only are posted, and the e-mail address will be listed as “withheld.” If a person did not include a piece of information such as Homepage or omitted their address, that heading will not appear in that respective entry. Some people prefer to type in all capital letters, and we have presented those messages in normal script format for the sake of a uniform look. Finally, one of the entries (Judy S.) has been given a parenthetic explanation to clear up what might be construed as a troublesome incident (attempted homicide). We thank all those that took the time to drop us a note, and encourage others to do the same. The feedback that we get from our visitors helps us provide a more enjoyable site. So kids, let’s keep those cards and letters coming!

Comments: A lot of fun. My boss put up a copy of “If I Only Had My Brains” yesterday, so I had to visit today. P.S. I know it is not your song, but you might try listening to Bob Rivers “The Girl With Emphysema” (done to “The Girl From Impaneama?”). Check Audio Galaxy for it. Short and pale and thin and sickly, the girl with emphysema keeps smoking, and when she passes she flicks her ash and goes (cough sounds)… You should check the whole thing out… If you can’t find it and wish, write me back, I will mail it off to you in MP3 form… dpquinn@qwest.net.

(Judy is referring to a time when Greg, acting as her clinical instructor, was showing her how to alcohol off a ventilator. Judy got a whiff of the alcohol and immediately began an uncontrollable coughing spell. It took an albuterol neb to settle her down) Good work for a couple of guys!!

Comments: GREAT SITE!! We have all parodied songs in the past, generally in the shower, but to do so many songs, so well, so tied to your profession, is great. I’ve also learned some about the RT world, which is cool. A special shout out to the original songs, especially “Head Toward the Light”!! Why this song isn’t already recorded and a hit I don’t know. Keep up the great work Mr. Howard and Mr. Wray!!!

Comments: Great work guys… Have you ever seen the top 10 reasons for being a Respiratory Therapist?? I saw it once many years ago…too funny. IF you come across it you should post it, or include it in a parody. My department did a rap song on a whim… on one of our crazy days, one of the lines goes… why does the patient fart when you suction (suction then fart sounds… lol). Keep up the good work. Lisa.

Comments: Always glad to see respiratory therapists strutting their stuff. When I was in rehab, the interning RT students learned how to take care of us (i.e. cracking whips over our heads while we tread the mills) and, at the same time, crammed medical info into their heads for tests at school. It’s an impressive lot to learn. Your tootorials are great, and I enjoyed your whole website. (Check out www.emphysema.net and see if your patients would be interested.)
