Re: A Sheet Of A4
by Kate Moss
I too am Brittle Asthmatic and can have real humdingers. I have carried around a 'Treatment Protocol' on an A4 sheet for years. It has been a lifesaver to me. It informs the paramedics and the A&E doctors everything they need to treat me. (including the fact I DO use my epipens ( adrenaline) for my asthma if very splatty!) Very usefull if you are away from your regular paramedics or hospital. No faffing trying to talk though the a& e docs will try and get a complete history out of you the length of a thesis and wonder why you are getting worse! I also have a medic- alert with the basics but they do have my protocol on file if you phone the number. Though, I have my protocol printed off numerous times and stuffed in all sorts of places. AmbuSam Asthma UK www.asthma.org.uk ( Was NAC!) do have a small card for asthmatics to fill in with their meds, best Peak flows, step up meds etc and what to do when the patient is having an attack ( for the lay person) Hop on to their site to see all the info.
