Doctor: Lay down on the bed. Nurse some oxygen over here.
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.

Me: Hi Lucia, are you okay?
I found out you had a medical problem and you went to the hospital.

Lucia: Hi Paul, if it was terrible, it was an allergy and I suffered anaphylactic

shock, possibly it was because I worked as a groomer and it hair affected me.

Me: That's bad, what did the doctor tell you? What did they do to you when you
got to the emergency room?

Lucia: The doctor gave me epinephrine, gave me oxygen and asked me some
questions if I had a problem with food or was with an animal.

Me: Well, at least you know where your allergy may be, what will you do now?

Lucia: I will temporarily leave the job as a groomer until I know where my
allergy comes from, if it is because I am a groomer, I will leave it permanent.
The doctor is looking for a solution for my allergy.

Me: Great, I hope you recover and don't suffer any more allergies.
