Yes. It is 3:30Am and we are up. Caitlyn peed allover herself and the bathroom floor and has a cold. We have to give her a breathing treatment because she has asthma. It is really counter-intuitive. The child must remain still in order not to get out of breath. Then you hook the child up to the nebulizer. The nebulizer is like cocaine for tots. It gets them all glassy-eyed and hyper. I don't even know why we do it. Plus, you have to tell them to "Suck the smoke in to your toes" which is a level of wrong-ness all in itself. It's almost like we are training our children for the "pot-olympics"- you know... "Hey man... what? Oh yeah... smoke it, man... suck it all the way to your toes, man..."
Dad is sick also, but I found some Histinex HC in the medicine basket... Yummy... Antihistimine and narcotics... YAY!!!

When I was in my EMT-Basic class and we were doing the "patient assisted meds" unit, my instructor laughed because I instructed my "patient" to "take a hit" on his inhaler. Like what else was I going to say? A. Someone with an inhaler already knows how to use it and B. it's an inhaled drug. "Take a hit" sounds just fine to me.
**FYI, I think pot is supposed to be more of a downer than an upper.
