Mayo Clinic's Overnight RT Cuts, Revisited: Who's There at 3 AM? | Jill Wolber, RRT

Mayo Clinic is replacing overnight respiratory therapists with telehealth in its critical access hospitals — so Rob and Mike revisit the decision with someone who's lived it.
Jill Wolber, an RT with nearly 30 years in critical care and a year as the lone night RT at a rural critical access hospital, takes the conversation into the trenches: running from ER codes to deliveries, managing near-sentinel events, and feeling like her license was on the line every shift.
Having done telehealth herself, she explains why Mayo's "quality of care" framing crosses a line — and the critical difference between telehealth as a backup versus a replacement. A candid look at staffing, ethics, and what rural communities stand to lose.
Plus: a birthday shout-out to the U.S. Navy Hospital Corps.
