AKA The hospitals bitch.
Respiratory Therapist are highly specialized members of a patient's healthcare team that diagnose and treat respiratory disease and disorders.
Respiratory Therapist are usually thought to be idiots who are only needed supply oxygen christmas tree nipples and administer Albuterol to patients who choked on their breakfast oatmeal. They are only thought to be knowledgeable when RNs have exhausted all ideas to help patients or when shit his the fan.
The best skill Respiratory Therapist possess is the ability to put SPO2 probes back on patients fingers when RNs report that they cannot get a reading.

Kid- “Ughhhh I learnt this thing on Urban dictionary and there’s a system in the body called ughhhhhh ‘The Respiratory System’.
Brainy Kid- “Ahhh yes it’s the process of breathing and breath intake!”

A smoking break; smoke break; to smoke.
A phrase used to ask someone if they wanna go for a smoking break with you (in a cooler way).
Used to combat the notion that smoking breaks are 100% negative occasions, since the respiratory therapy they offer is often more than 100% beneficial to the recipient.

Andy: "Hey Chris, RT?"
Chris: "Sure, I'm totally down for some respiratory therapy right now."
Tom: "You two do realize the lung cancer risks right?"
Andy: "Are you kidding me? Respiratory therapy (RT) is totally good for you."
Chris: "Yup RT'ing 2-3 times a day actually improves your mental health and sharpness."

A virus with the characteristics of being (a) fake as your mother in laws tiddys (b) as big as the mask it will take to cover Derek's triple chins and nose at the same time deeming it effective and (c) as contagious as Wade's bullshit
Derek has federal state viral respiratory infection (fsvri), at least his imagination works- too bad he doesn't.
