Now in retail, I always have to dig a little deeper with the allergies. Augmentin (diarrhea), egg (I have high cholesterol), all narcotics except (insert fav drug of choice) because they give me constipation.

I am not sure who to blame. Considering that my health "professor" in college (a coach teaching first aid) told everyone that you used your chest muscles to breathe and that someone with asthma should use their inhaler repeatedly (like 10 times in a row) when they were having trouble breathing, part of me blames the education system. This was at a private college with a fabulous reputation (98% acceptance rates into vet school, med school, and post graduate programs). When he left the room to deal with something, I stood up in class and explained the concept of the diaphragm.KateAhttp://charlesallison.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-23410804945674359522010-01-26T21:15:16.847-05:002010-01-26T21:15:16.847-05:00*headdesk*
