Us healthcare people can be nasty cycnical minded swines sometimes.

Sent to an eleven year old child suffering from an asthma attack, I arrived to find the child breathing normally. His oxygen levels are better than mine, his breathing is nice and relaxed, and on listening to his chest I can detect no wheeze or chest infection.

The child tells me that his chest is still feeling 'tight' even though he has no other symptoms of any difficulty in his breathing.

Why is it that myself, my crewmate and the nurses at the hospital all have the thought that today is Monday and therefore a school day uppermost in our minds? Could the child be faking his illness just to get out of school?

As I say, we have nasty cynical minds.

Still, it meant a nice early trip to the hospital where I could score something to eat...
