All Physicians try and deceive asthmatics as a rule and general practice too asthmatic patients. This has been going on since the introduction of car A/C's made asthma a mainstream disease in 1955. It's an physician's preoccupation with the law that has driven doctors to deny the existence or cause of car asthma. Making bold statements instead claiming asthma to be an allergy.
Asthma is not an allergy, it is the the result of inhaling a gas called phosgene gas from car exhaust pipes. The damage done to your lungs is called Asthma. I believe asthma to be of serious damage to your lung cells. Still experts refuse to believe any damage exists to lung cells, and would have you believe damage was done to your immune system instead.
No one seems to know what damage is done at the atomic or sub-atomic level to individual lung cells. Like any cut, laceration, or open wound the body is constantly fighting these damaged cells producing a thick pus that chokes off and prevents the flow of air inside the brochile tubes.
Doctors haven't been able to view cell damage using today's best microscopes, so they really don't know what causes asthma.instead they postulate about asthma helping some patients to seek the law, while leaving most patients dumb founded and too confused to seek out help in the matter. I believe this to be a back door to avoid lawsuits, and any finger pointing by law firms.
I had asthma shots as a 2 year old until I was 10 during the 50's and 60's. My doctor never bothered to mention to me that asthma is caused by car exhaust. Leaving me to run out and catch more fumes, not to mention my father's early death (39) from yes asthma that he didn't know he had. And I say this because my father and I would make trips inside the auto dealer's garage to have metal sliding boards welded. And that is to the best of my knowledge how my family met it's early demise.
That's a rip-off to watch me cry week after week as an infant who wasn't ever asked how his breathing was. And then for the doctor to act like I'm taking money out of his pocket by asking him to stop my shots. So he never warns me how to stay clear of repeated asthma treatments or what leads to asthma like car fumes.
Doesn't your dentist advise you too brush and floss to keep from getting cavities? Don't doctors warn patients about obesity, diabetics, smoking, etc...? Well this courtesy isn't extended to asthmatics.instead we're lied to and told not to smoke which more times than not led most asthmatics to experiement and try smoking.
I think doctors have cheated and abused 20 million americans in this respect. Doctors have left asthmatics at the mercy of wolves without anyway to become productive citizens. Asthmatics can't run, walk for distance, or hustle for a living, they can't even join the army.
I had never had asthma most of my life. I say this after smoking for 20 years, running 10 miles a day for 2 years, and enjoying 10K road races inspite of being labaled asthmatic in my youth. After coming down with asthma at 35 I've been forced once again to except asthma and anything and everything the AMA throws in my face. I find this to be mean spirited and self-centered if not inhumane.
Especially after spending every other summer getting 18 shots in one arm as a child. I wast petrified by the thought of shots in my youth. I'm a man not a child, I should've be told the truth somewhere along the line about asthma by a doctor. It should've been a health discussion at least once in my life. I should've had a decent shot with a lawyer at my employeer. But I was lied to, confused and confounded, and forced out into the streets with the worst disease any young person could ever imagine. What's the big idea? Make a little garage business of your own down the street?
Tortured by sneaky businessmen with asthma, lied to by doctors and lawyers excusing my asthma case, abused by fellow workers and bosses making sure I inhaled, kicked around by local government and police, and left jobless without compensation since 1989 without any legal help or explanations.
This in a country I went to war for in 1973 getting orders too Thailand while lawyers and doctors learned how to duck such things. I also pulled duty in the Middle East, and was the first to go to war pulling red-alert duty against Iran in 1976 as a crew-chief in the Air Force while my detachment was getting it's butt kicked out of Tehran Iran.
I wasn't to bad a guy to not get a job with the military then, but when it came to asthma nobody ever offered any help. Matter of fact veterans worked me over real good trying to prevent me from going to Thailand in 1976 using a variety of tactics that caused both physical damage and property loss to me. As I was the last one with orders out of this country during the Viet Nam War era. At best I was totally confounded by others and laughed at for admitting I took asthma shots on job applications. Asthma was a starting point by most to heckle and abuse like I wasn't good enough for them.
Having asthma has meant living a lifetime with alot of frustration and disappointment among other things like poverty. My grandfather on my mother's side was a car dealer salesmen most of his life, and this man didn't extend his blessing or offer any insight as to my asthma. What a world we live in!
