Nice reasoning, :)
Oh ya, I have added a link to your blog. I hope you are ok with that.

Thanks

Secondly, hold 30 sec – 1 min? As I said, that thing dispenses mist in a finite/constant manner (1 ampoule). The session would have been over in less than 5 mins. Hold 30 sec? She would only get to whiff in 6 – 8 times max, >60% of the med would have been wasted. It’s all common sense. (I’ve been using this nebulizer shit many times before. This is not new to me either. The most effective way to use it is breathe normally.)

And by the way, my kid’s not scared of no mouthpiece and she’s not upset in anyway. She was actually laughing and joking with us (that’s why I had to hush her down). I don’t see the need for that nurse to calm my kid when she’s already calm (so much for that psychological bullshit). And how do you explain the ‘being able to inhale while talking’ part? 2 words – she’s stupid. (One thing I did not mention – she also forgot to tighten the canister resulting a spill. The session was over in half the time – the med was wasted anyway… that fucking nurse)

I kind of agree with you about the state of our nurse quality, knowing some of them had to do the job due to lack of qualification, or as last resort to no job. That in some way not making them liking the job, but rather had to put up with the job. In fact, I thought nurse has a rather noble job, risking their lives in the front line from time to time fighting deadly diseases.

On the use of nebulizer, I have a slightly different thought.

The proper way of using ventolin or steroid based with mist delivered medication , would have been breath in and hold for a brief while.

I used ventolin before, most effective way is breath in and hold 30 sec~1 min, another way would have taken deeper breath of air, cyclical (thus encouraging intake of the mist).

Some kids may get scared by the mouth piece coupled with the noisy machine, she (the nurse ) probably felt that way, and instead is to ask the kid to behave as normal (talkative as usual) , or even sing (singing increases air uptake) , I know probably you missed the psychological part of it. In fact, sometime, it is good to trick the kid into behaving as pilot driving a plane (happily).. when they are happy, it boosts the body resistance & immune system.

Hope your Regine gets better.. have a nice weekend..

This is what happens when you allow uneducated kampung fuckers to get jobs that should be reserved for educated people.

Not like you getting Regine to stop talking would be life threatening.
