I was in an emergency room for a couple hours last night
 My kid got kicked in the head. He's okay now but it was touch and go for a while there.

Anyhow, people watching in the ER.

A man came in carrying a little girl. She was about 10. There was a woman with him and a couple other kids and they were running and screaming that the little girl couldn't breathe. The nurse asked for her name and the woman says 'Chantelle'. The nurse said 'what's her last name' and the woman screams 'she's in your system!' The nurse says I need her first and last name. The woman screams 'she's going to die, please help her breathe!' So another nurse comes over and tells them all calmly that they want to help her breathe but they have to know her name. This whole time one of the nurses is trying to calm the little girl down and help her to breathe. So then the man says her name and another nurse looks her up on the computer and within 10 seconds he has her records. Whole incident took maybe 30 seconds. And everyone is calm. It was amazing how quickly it moved from hysteria to calm.

So then the nurse at the computer asks if they brought the little girl's inhaler with them. And the woman says 'we never got it because we couldn't afford it'.

I wanted to cry. And I wasn't too worried about own my kid for a few minutes. 

I can't believe how many DUmmy's fall for her BS.

1. Oh shit.
 1) Prayers for the little girl, I hope she's O.K.
2) I'm glad your son is alright.
3) This has got to stop.

And positive thoughts to your son.

7. He got in the middle of someone else's fight
 Just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Doctor was amazed he didn't have a concussion. But he has 2 black eyes.

Cops came and arrested everyone but my kid. They took him to the ER. And the kid who kicked him is going to prison. Battery. It's a felony.
 

The BS in the BS sub plot.

18. Yes and I am surprised you haven't learned the other lesson the field teaches
 many a times our first impressions are way, and I mean this, WAAAYYYY off.

By the way, you know what cigs are good for? Hunger control...

Did you know that?

They could have been smoking partially for that reason... poor people sometimes do. Or war victims... long family story regarding that
 

I thought what they smoked gave them the munchies.

25. Like the seven year old we paid his casket for
 after he died from ashtma during a cold spell? They could never afford the rescue inhaler, we left them when we had them

Or our favorite alcoholic, that we took to the hospital every week or so... and prayed to god took a shower, lice are nasty

Or the homeless woman I treated many a times for her uncontrolled diabetes

Yes, been there done that

And I learned not to judge

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

After reading a few of the threads here this morning, WTF?????  These "people" are really deranged.  :mental: I thought I'd seen it all, but...............damn.

Why? Did you buy some poor homeless woman a boob job?

I had asthma as a kid, and have very occasional bouts with it if I get sick as an adult.  The rescue inhaler she needed likely costs $16.  Doctors will give free samples of them out.

If the child had an attack so bad she "couldn't breathe" it was something the parents had likely seen before.  Also if she couldn't breathe how did she survive the ride in her parents' car to the ER.   Nah, this bouncy ain't got no air in it.

With socialized medicine, the kid wouldn't stand a chance.  Society can't afford to pay for inhalers and such for the weak. 

That's what the Little Goons never stop to think about.  Socialized medicine is for the well only. 

Right now, Little Goons, under our current system of free enterprises, curing your health problems is an asset to Big Medicine.  Just wait until your health problems is a liability to Big Government.  Your worth will be gone and you will be a nuisance.

It Socialland, a little girl who can't breath on her own is a blight on the system.  Socialland society would be better off if the little girl died.

I took a friend to the ER and there was not one person in there (other than the staff) that spoke English.  Wonder why California is in the shitter?
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Of course not.

Remember some of the more-famous of the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher's stretchies--her friend over in Missouri who tried to vote and was turned away, and the student who was beaten up by the cops during an event featuring Ann Coulter, and the hotel telephone of Cindy Sheehan being bugged and &c., &c., &c.

Those sorts of things, which as it ended up weren't as the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher alleged them to be.

That's not true anymore. I have COPD which in my case manifests as exercise-induced asthma (which means I have to use an inhaler before I workout and in the middle of it if I'm doing hardcore aerobics) and pretty bad allergies which I also need albuterol for. You used to be able to buy an inhaler for $10 WITHOUT insurance. Now they're $40. You can thank a liberal for that. Environmental regulations require they not be made with chlorofluorocarbon because it destroys the ozone and contributes to global warming. Of course the "experts" say the new and improved inhaler gets the product deeper into the lungs. Those of us who are actually forced to use these inhalers don't agree but what do we know...we've probably killed brain cells trying to breathe so aren't as sharp as the wizards of smart in charge of the environment. The inhaler still has 200 metered doses but instead of 2 puffs I have to use six just to get half the lung capacity with my old non-politically correct one. So I go through it 3 times as fast but at least the next time I'm gasping for breath trying to get enough albuterol in my lungs I can do so knowing I won't be causing anyone a sunburn.

Walmart has albuterol in 6 different forms for $4 a month.  My inhaler doesn't work well anymore either.  That whole CFC thing was a total crock.  I may as well suck on an exhaust pipe for all of the good the new formula helps.  I take singulair daily and almost never have to use an inhaler anymore.

Ouch! I feel for ya.  When I was young (from 3 to 8), my asthma was triggered by allergy attacks, and there wasn't much to which I wasn't allergic.  The doctor's treatment for allergies was to give me twenty shots alternating arms each week.  I still turn pale when I see a needle.  The only real fear I have.

Yeah Walgreens and BiMart are the same way. I'm just lazy and am waiting until I have to call my doctor for a refill to talk to her about changing from Ventolin. I was on Advair for a while but it made my Asthma attacks worse. My symptoms are pretty mild so I do pretty well with just albuterol.
