Welcome Post - About Me

My name is John D’Urbano but everyone calls me J.D.. I’ve been a Respiratory Therapist in the Phoenix area since 1992. I’ve spent the first half of my career at a top teaching hospital specializing in Emergency Medicine / Level-1 Trauma, with a strong interest in critical burn injuries. Currently I am working as a Cardiovascular Respiratory Therapist in a very unique program in one of Arizona’s leading healthcare networks. Between these two facilities I’ve been afforded medical education and experience that I could never put a price on…

In the early years I was taken under the wing of an attending emergency medicine physician who’s never failed to challenge me. He’s proven to me that there is something to learn from each and every patient I encounter. One of the first things he said to me was this; “every patient you see, regardless of their history, is a real live human being, and nothing less. At the very least they deserve your very best”. That first lesson I’ll never forget, and I hope you won’t either…
