Nurse refuses student inhaler during asthma attack

[JoePhilly]

22. My daughter keeps a spare inhaler hidden in her backpack for just such stupidity.

She knows to follow the rules, but if they deny her ... she is to say ... "I'm ok now, can I go back to class" ... and when they let her go ... go get her spare and use it.

Her school is pretty good though. She had trouble once and when they were going to give it to her, the woman noticed that the form we had signed had expired. So the woman said "I'm not allowed to give you this ..." ... and then she set it on the table right in front of my daughter and said ... "I need to go check on something, I'll be back in a few minutes" and then she smiled. My daughter understood the message, and so the woman left, my daughter used the inhaler, and then put it back. The woman returned and said "How are you feeling?" "My daughter said ... "I'm doing better." And then the woman said, "Here is a new form, can you have your parents sign it and bring it back tomorrow?" ... "No problem."
