One hit before bed. I don't need the morning hit.

You should take it as prescribed but if you feel ok. It will last twice as long I guess.
I collect rescue inhalers though.
Keep them at home, at work, in the car, in my pocket. I hate not having one on or near me at all times.

I once went kayak surfing on Thanksgiving day unmedicated. Even in full wetsuit I was having an attack. The freaking swampscott people just stepped over me for over 5 minutes on the sidewalk.
A med student figured it out and ran to get an inhaler from my wife.

How rude. It must have been pretty obvious you were in distress.
Ironic with the wetsuit since an attack can be compared with drowning as far as your lungs filling with fluid.

If I came across you wearing a wetsuit laying on the ground in distress, I’d certainly get help for you.

After some cleverly posed photos of course.

Did people think you were the punchline of a joke involving a skin diver and a forest fire?

Gay Porn shoot gone bad.
 
Oh boy, my insurance kicked back the bill for my surgery because they think some other insurance should pay for it.

I fucking hate this system.


This is a great argument for single payer, or at least simplification of the system. The fact that the US allows health care to be a publicly traded commodity shows where we place our value.

Money > people

I may have been profane in my written explanation to the insurance company (I believe it had something like "THERE WAS A FINGERNAIL GROWING OUT THE SIDE OF MY FUCKING FINGER").

I wonder if that'll affect their determination of benefits.
