Guest guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 this past weekend i was at a motorcycle event and since i too have asthma i took my inhaler and the thing you put it into you get more of the meds. any way a 40 year old who has asthma had such a sever attact she was in and out of breathing. it scared me but i gave them the paoeple who were helping her befor e th paramedics came to use to help save her it worked they wanted to lay her flat on her back(they being suposidly trained volunteer firemen) i told them no on her side and make sure her toung doesnt fall back and stop her breathing . and that only put her on her back if cpr is needed. my mom trained me her being sever asthmatic herself. my gosh what are these suposed trained medical paople being trained on? one girl her best friend tried to get her to focus on breathing and saying your kids are fine but keep breathing for them. to get her to focus on staying alive for them. that i was also taught by my mom. now the paramedics did show up but once they gave the oxygen she wouldnt go to the hospital. nothing we could do. i made sure she kept my inhailer and the other thing i can always get another. it was stressful cause i know that could have been me and now my hubby sees what can happen should i get that bad. i dont think he took it serious till last night. robi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
