If the wizened ones lean as anticipated, some of this ZT nonsense should join a host of other stupid ideas in the dustbin of history.<BR/><BR/>Of course, just like gun control and intelligent design, it will continue to poke its head out when we least expect it.

I'm trying to put myself in the position of this girl's father, and find that I can't decide which course of action I would take were something analogous to this to happen to my child.<BR/><BR/>Part of me would want to lawyer up and sue the bastards back to the Stone Age; The "G.

Asthma is hardly a minor health issue; people can die from an attack. I know. I had a friend who did.<BR/><BR/>Hmm, can anyone say "child endangerment" re: that school policy...?randompawseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530108342884988224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990876628413018080.post-39992567567437269282009-01-19T04:06:00.000-06:002009-01-19T04:06:00.000-06:00There is also the problem with asthmatics needing ...There is also the problem with asthmatics needing to convince the teacher that they are sick enough to be allowed to go to the nurse's office to wait to be seen by the nurse, so they may use their own asthma medication during an asthma attack.<BR/><BR/>This is something that has probably worsened the outcome of plenty of asthma attacks.Rogue Medichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07598646309630074992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990876628413018080.post-64577585756537738502009-01-19T00:19:00.000-06:002009-01-19T00:19:00.000-06:00Absolutely disgusting.

But gods forbid being able to take any kind of OTC relief with dignity, like our own mothers did and do, and quietly deal with one's own personal issues.
