A respiratory therapist will have many duties and it's best to understand what the duties are before following a job in this career. A respiratory therapist should at least be physically fit. There are many patients that have respiratory issues and it's your job to try to accommodate as much as you can or at a minimum attend to those you are assigned to take care of. In a hospital setting, expect that you're going to have to address more than one patient at a time, so you should be fit enough to move around from one patient to another. Some of the patients that you will encounter could be disabled or too weak to move around without help, so you must be prepared to assist them.
