The state of Tennessee was named after a Cherokee town named "Tanasi," which is in present-day Monroe County, Tennessee. The true meaning of Tanasi cannot be ascertained, though it's been said to mean "meeting place," "wind river," or "river of the great bend." Tennessee borders with eight other states. This makes Tennessee, along with Missouri, the state with the most neighboring states. The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, is the longest continuously running live radio program in the world. It has been live since November 28, 1925.Respiratory therapists typically work with patients who have more manageable respiratory conditions. For example, respiratory therapists often administer oxygen to patients with difficulty breathing. They also train patients and their families to properly use home ventilators. Like pulmonologists, respiratory therapists sometimes use imaging techniques such as X-rays or analyze the level of oxygen in a patient's blood to diagnose her condition. Respiratory therapists administer other types of treatments as well, such as aerosol treatments for asthma patients and chest physiotherapy for patients with cystic fibrosis.
