Only Asthma
Written by JaneMartin

Based on a true story. The names of people and places have been changed.

It was 11:15 pm on Labor Day evening as I sat down at the conference table in the respiratory therapy staff report room at Lakeside Hospital. It had been a busy shift, but a “good busy,” eight hours of working with hearts and lungs, among other things assisting patients with COPD and asthma with nebulizer treatments to help them breathe easier, catching heart attacks in the making, and coaching post-op patients with deep breathing and coughing to prevent pneumonia.  I was exhausted – but relieved. I sighed, thinking, “It’s after 11:00 pm at the end of a long holiday weekend of perfect summer weather in a resort town and we haven’t had one bad car accident or drowning come through our doors. A good weekend, indeed!
