The name "Oklahoma" comes from two Choctaw Indian words: "okla" meaning people, and "humma" meaning red, so the state's name literally means "red people." The Land Rush of 1889 permitted settlers to claim the Unassigned Lands in present-day Oklahoma. Some settlers tried to beat the system by entering the area before the official start at noon on April 22, 1889. These settlers were called the Sooners, and that's where Oklahoma got its nickname. Cimarron County is the only county in the U.S. that touches four states: Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Kansas.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.
