Any suggestions for what an RRT can do who has a 15 pound lifting restriction for the rest of her life? My back problems have gotten worse and my doctor will not release me to hospital work, nor do I want to do anything that will hurt me further. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Emily

Hi Emily, I'm an RRT also. Have you thought about doing cardiac rehab, stress tests, PFT's or sleep lab?

That is a good question. It will probably be difficult if you can't work in a hospital. And I'm sure desk work wouldn't be good for your back either. What about transcription. You can usually do that from home, and be comfortable.
