This is the one book that will provide the foundation for your success in any respiratory therapy curriculum.
Respiratory therapy programs are demanding and rigorous, and many students find themselves struggling to pass their exams. The key to your success as a student is in being able to understand the foundational material upon which everything else is built. Studying for the exam by utilizing test prep books or question banks is of very limited value if you are not in command of the necessary foundational material. There is nothing wrong with going over practice questions, but real success on your exams and boards occurs when you have mastered the foundational material - because when you are fluent in your understanding of the material itself, not only will you be able to answer any question presented to you regardless of how it is worded or phrased, but you will become a safe and competent clinician.
This book will give you the insights needed for your understanding that you will not find anywhere else.
GREEN'S RESPIRATORY THERAPY IS THE PERFECT COMPANION TO YOUR PRIMARY TEXTBOOK AND LECTURES
The year is 1878, and it all starts with a faint vision fueled by desperation and Madeira wine. Miguel Mirante, a Portuguese farmer, has a wife and four children to feed, but his crops are failing on São Miguel island. He does not read, and he has never seen a map or a globe. He knows nothing of the world outside of his island, and he has no idea what it is like to sail on a bark around Cape Horn. Little does he realize that smuggled diamonds, measles, williwaw winds, and booby birds await those, who like him, would risk everything for a better life. He only knows that staying put means destitution for his family and that there are people who are willing to pay for his passage and educate his children on the far side of the world.
Denis Julien's first biographer in 1933 called him the Mysterious D. Julien because so little was known about him. He was surmised to have been a fur trapper along the Green and Colorado Rivers in the 1830s and not much more than that was known. Modern-day river runners know him from carved inscriptions along those rivers, but little else. This book, however, corrects that, presenting not only the first full-length story of the life of Denis Julien, but also his participation in the fur trade, not only in the American Southwest, but in the Mississippi-Missouri River region as well.
How does a human being degenerate into someone willingly perpetrating acts of exceptional violence upon others? How does Jesus Christ reach past the rejections and damage of this world to claim, transform, and repurpose such a human life? A life not only swept into the dustbin of incarceration, but one who did everything they could to get themself there?
Rather than attempting to answer these questions from a scriptural or theological basis, I present to you the life story of Pastor Jose Luis Hernandez Roman, entitled 'From Psycho to Christ'.
