(30 Mar 2020) Chicago respiratory therapist Brady Scott says he feels overwhelmed by the pandemic of the new coronavirus. Scott says so many people need breathing machines that simply haven’t been manufactured yet. “And it’s not just overwhelming where I’m at, where I work, it’s overwhelming in hospitals all across the country.” Scott is an associate professor of respiratory care and a respiratory therapist at Rush University Medical Center.
