The point being made is that it is NOT our emergency and therefore someone else needs to look at this and deal with it while we get on with treating physical illnesses.Xfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189044083128101123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498194182629204271.post-21099846909496148392010-06-19T21:19:47.285+00:002010-06-19T21:19:47.285+00:00Some spot on points but I can't help feel ther...Some spot on points but I can't help feel theres a few sweeping statements in here...as a previous sufferer of panic attacks its a heck of a fright before you realise what it is so i can understand the odd over reaction however that said even in my scariest moments i never dared to phone an ambulance!...Comments about depression maybe a bit judgemental based on close to home experiences not everyone suffers such due to looking for more attention, traumatic life experiences can cause episodes, the writer would be better reminded nearly everyone suffers depression at some time and am sure they wouldnt like themselves described as this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498194182629204271.post-56170895450064888502009-07-26T16:03:52.316+00:002009-07-26T16:03:52.316+00:00Thanks Xf, I saw it went out in the new SJA manual...Thanks Xf, I saw it went out in the new SJA manual, and I was wondering why. I find its a good 'placebo' sometimes because while it does nothing of value it makes the person your calming down feel like your doing something. <br />However, your piont about asthmatics getting a bag instead of O2 is a good point.Viking83https://www.blogger.com/profile/09948115992695111125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498194182629204271.post-79289294573024165202009-07-23T19:23:08.274+00:002009-07-23T19:23:08.274+00:00About three years ago I was hit by two eggs thrown...About three years ago I was hit by two eggs thrown from a car - one on the shoulder and the other on the chin.
