"oxygen is so important during those prepubesent years" im dead

For years I've told patients, "they're called doctor's orders, not doctor's suggestions."

My sister and I only recently found out she nearly died from asthma when she was 2 😳 Our mother kept calm and acted like we were just going to go see our favorite family doctor (who also went to the same church as us), but apparently my baby sister was in full asthmatic shock and at death’s door. We didn’t have insurance and Mom definitely didn’t have the money for the ER (this was Los Angeles in the 90s); she didn’t know what else to do. Our doctor immediately dropped everything, started treatments and saved my sister’s life. His fee? “Make sure they grow up healthy and strong”. Not only do we owe him for her literal life, but so do her four children 🥰

"I need to breath"

"OMG AGAIN !? You just breathed yesterday!"

[heycarolcrazy]

My parents wouldn't let me take my inhaler to school because they were afraid I'd be outed as an asthmatic. I was 10 when diagnosed but even at that age, I carried it in secret because I understood the consequences of not having an inhaler on me at all times better than they did.

Parents who don’t fully understand their children’s medical conditions are dangerous. My sister had a curling iron on high sitting on a piece of plywood on her bed. The phone rang on the nightstand so I ran in there picked it up and plopped down on the bed sitting directly on the curling iron. Instead of taking me for medical care or treating my wounds at home my parents just ignored it. The giant blister popped leaving the wound open and exposed. I had third degree burn due to the curling iron sticking to me when I sat on it and me panicking from pain and ripping it off. My leg turned green and I almost lost it due to infection. It took my dad’s sister my aunt threatening to call child services to get my parents to seek help for me. That wasn’t the first or last time I was injured growing up and my parents felt the need to use the injuries as punishment for not doing again whatever it was I did to obtain the injuries to begin with.

I cannot count the times we had asthmatic kids in camp who didnt have an inhaler. The parents didnt even mention it in the paperwork. Always fun.

[spidey_things]

I instantly knew something is wrong with that mom the moment she said "hes only 10" while referring to her child using an inhaler.

When I was a kid I told Mom I had asthma and she said “no you don’t. stop being dramatic. If you had asthma-your lungs would whistle.” So I go about my business and several more times tell her I think I have asthma. I even showed her my lungs were whistling/squeaking at the end of my breaths. “Stop faking that and get back to work. Your brother and your Dad have asthma-it’s not something to joke around about. You should feel sorry for them.” Meanwhile-I cannot run -my body won’t move. I am tired a lot and worn out easily. I turn 17 go to college and live in the dowm-turn 18 and take general PE requirement. We are forced to jog the mile and supposed to do it in a certain time too. (1980) I am doing a practice run and am 1/2 lap behind everyone. My coach runs along side of me. I was afraid he’d yell at me and chide me like my pe coaches in high school and jr high. Instead he says he will jog with me…I think “oh great-just what I need-to try keep up with him” I try to speed up but he says “ just keep the pace the same as you were. How long have you had asthma?” I say “I was told I DON’T have asthma.”. He says “Oh you HAVE asthma. I can hear it. So you don’t have an inhaler? Go to the clinic and tell them I said you have asthma and you need an inhaler. You can stop jogging-you can leave for the day-just walk on back. Next time use the inhaler right before class-you’ll be able to move much better.” So I did. After that I was able to easily do the mile. I took dance classes, jogged 5-6 miles a few times a week and did Jane Fonda work outs. So many people had openly mocked me for being slow to run as a kid! My mom gaslighting me (?) why(?) why did she care about my brother and not about me? Why did the PE coaches never ask about asthma? Why are people so mean?? I swear I will never understand about this. I was surrounded by mainly mean people in my life as a kid. The few times people were kind to me…it felt a bit odd-almost uncomfortable because I was waiting…waiting for them to be mean. It took me a long time to trust people.

I still love the lady that thought she used the inhaler by spraying it on her chest

[tinachandler]

I’ve had to do that as a Medical Assistant. A set of parents thought asthma ended everything for their 8 year old. I was a competitive figure skater at the time and I told them my story about asthma in me. The next week he was at the rink enrolled in hockey class. He was so happy and said he breathed better in the ice.

[dash-x]

When it comes to kids his compassion for them turns to rage at the parents. So many times I wish we could shake people and say c’mon! Lol. He really does care though. He doesn’t want to be friends with people but he also wants people to live.

Every child deserves a parent but not every parents deserves a child

[debprice]

Having a grown son, who, thank Heaven, survived asthma, insurance, medication and breathing machine payment refusal, this brought back memories. I challenged a school district, after school program, and insurance companies for my son and eventually other kids at risk, to be allowed to carry a life saving inhaler. ( in the 80s, this was almost unheard of)I also got a nebulizer to be kept at school, and training for the district for use. NEVER ALLOW TREATABLE(although, not curable)ILLNESS to take the life of ANYONE!

[goldiloks]

My parents did this to me by just not getting me diagnosed. I’d dealt with asthma for years when finally I went to the doctor for like strep throat or something and he asked, “anything else?” I blurted out that I can’t breathe when I run and my doctor thankfully listened to me. I was 9.
Even after I was diagnosed and my mom got my inhaler for me, I wasn’t supposed to use it in front of my dad cause it triggered him, I guess, that I was using medicine.

Funnily enough, the taboo around medicine in our house suddenly went away after my dad had a sextuple bypass and needed his own meds. 🙃

[ruththomas]

My cousin died because of that Her parents were worried she would get too used to the asthma pump. So when she woke up one day she couldn't breathe they didn't want to give it to her. And they said they wanted to wait it out she died suffocated Because they didn't trust the medicine😔

Edit: Unfortunately no😔 They didn't face any consequences. But you can pretty much say after my family found out what they did we pretty much ostracized them😞

[ShadowAndPhoenyxReadings]

I have asthma and keep an inhaler… I refused to let the school keep my inhaler even though I could have gotten in big trouble for having it on my person at all times, because when I go down I do just that, often on the floor crying… but guess what? I forgot to bring my inhaler to work once and couldn’t breathe. My manager pulled out her rescue inhaler and tossed it to me. I made it through the rest of my shift, very grateful she was there when she was

[droberts]

Schools should learn inhalers are good for students with asthma! I learned, after several years, that my daughter was denied her inhaler, because they didn’t believe she needed it.

[prxZen]

Was doing a full sanitation of a school after asbestos findings in the old vents. This included emptying desk drawers and cleaning those out. I don't think I've ever been so sad-angry as a day on that job, when cleaning out a teacher's desk in a classroom and in it there were at least 5 inhalers. With different names on and weight to them, most with kid marker drawings and little stickers on them. It was obvious that they belonged to children. Definitely not "lost and found" because the full names were on their labels. Apparently a teacher must have been "confiscating" kids' inhalers, and not giving them back 🤬😰

Don't know if anything came of it, but I did up a written report and delivered a copy myself to both the school head master and local council to make sure it didn't end up in a bin somewhere.

[janatyler]

I told the school superintendent that you’d think teachers would educate themselves about asthma since it is one of the main reasons children are late or absent from school. Sadly the majority of teachers think it is just an excuse that kids use. I had to threaten the school with a lawsuit when my daughter suffered an asthma attack and her teacher wouldn’t let her go to the office for her inhaler and to call me. Thank heavens one of her classmates snuck out of the classroom and called me and I came to the school with fire in my eyes. Had to race her to the ER 25 minutes away. Turned out she had pneumonia and severe inflammation in her lungs. She spent a week in the hospital. From then on she kept her inhaler in her desk or in a little pouch she could wear around her waist. Her teacher only apologized to me after her own son was diagnosed with pneumonia a few weeks later and almost died. She had no idea pneumonia could be deadly. To this day I am still baffled at the ignorance and lack of caring most teachers exhibit when a student is asthmatic!
For a profession that brags about being educated I find them disgustingly STUPID on so many levels!! Not to mention not an ounce of common sense from the administration to the kindergarten teacher!
