Nurse: Right away doctor.
Doctor: Do you have any other difficulties besides breathing?
You: I can’t help scratching the rush on my back.
Doctor: I see. Nurse, epinephrine shot. Quick!
Nurse: Here you are doctor.
Doctor: Relax and try to breathe. I am going to put you an
epinephrine shot.
You: (few minutes later) I can breathe! Sorry I freaked out. I
panicked as soon as I experienced difficulty in breathing.
Doctor: That’s absolutely normal. You had an anaphylactic
shock.
You: I see, but I have never been allergic to anything doc,
Why now?
Doctor: Anyone can develop an allergy out of the blue. Have
you been in contact with animals, nuts, seafood or the like?
You: Not that I remem… wait a sec. I started yesterday as a
groomer!
Doctor: well, that must have been the trigger. We’ll have to
get some exams to determine the nature of your allergy.
Meanwhile stay away from animals.
You: Well, I guess I have to find a new job, then. Thanks doc.
Yesterday at the emergency room, I begged somebody to help me.
The doctor commanded me to keep calm; he asked me what the
problem was?

I told him I could not breathe. He ordered me to lie down on the bed
and he demanded the nurse some oxygen over there. The nurse
said right away.

The doctor demanded to know if I had any other difficulties besides


breathing. I told him I cannot help scratching the rush on my back.
Then the doctor ordered the nurse an epinephrine shot
immediately. He commanded me to keep calm because he was
going to put me an epinephrine shot.

Then I told them I can breathe, that I freaked out. I panicked as


soon as I experienced difficulty in breathing. The doctor told me
that it is absolutely normal, I had an anaphylactic shock.

I asked the doctor why now? I had never been allergic to anything.
He told me that anyone can develop an allergy out of the blue. He
asked me if I had been in contact with animals, nuts, seafood or the
like.

I told him I started yesterday as a groomer. He ordered me to take


some exams to determine the nature of your allergy. He also
suggested me staying away from animals.

I thanked him.

Last year I went to a soccer league in Bogotá, I was excited because we had
reached the semifinal. We had an excellent team. The game started, but after
15min, I had an accident, I jumped with a rival player for the ball, but we collide
together and I fell down on my head. The game stopped, I had a bump and I
was unconscious and bleeding. My coach told me that the team doctor attended
me quickly, he asked me something but I did not answer, he ordered other
player to get some ice and some gauze. The doctor demanded to the players to
help him to take me out the soccer field. After 15 min, I regained the
consciousness; I asked the doctor what happen. He commanded me to keep
calm and he order me to be quiet. When the first time finished, my team asked
me if I was okay. I told them that my head hurt but I was fine. Finally the doctor
suggested me to be quiet and put ice on my head.
