Why the People of India walked out

56. Not by choice. She worked

with my husband. The allergy event occurred at a party she hosted in her home for people she worked with. She was also present at other company events that included spouses.

Her action was not a deliberate attempt to hurt me. It came from ignorance about allergies which is all too common, even among some medical people.

It used to be standard belief that allergies are psychological rather than physical in origin. Also was a common belief that they were no more than a slight discomfort of runny nose and sneezing, like a cold.

With the increase in medical transplants, we know more about the physical workings of the immune system today. Emotional factors can exacerbate an existing allergy and asthma, because adrenal glands are involved, but emotions or psychology are NOT the cause. And there are many reactions besides hay fever. I have had two anaphylactic reactions in my life, both caused by doctors who took patronizing attitudes toward my allergies.

I definitely did not interact with either doctor again. Did not sue either, but later thought I should have. I now have a typed list of allergens and the reactions they cause for when I need to see a new doctor. At the bottom of the page is a warning statement that the allergies are very real and I WILL sue if there are any consequences from not taking them seriously.
