Status Asthmaticus

Patients with chronic asthma even how diligent they are in their medications always end up with stage of status asthmaticus. Inhalers, bronchodilators, and expectorants do not prevent patients going to this stage. Pulmunologist most often shift to one inhaler to the next that is often result to the same problem.

Though i am not a pulmologist, i have seen a lot of this patient who are dissatisfied with their status. Most often they come desperate and would not like to go to another pulmunologist. So, for the past 19 years I have experimented with other medications not used in status asthmaticus treatment protocol. These resulted to prevention of frequent attacks of asthma and status asthmaticus. Since I am not a pulmunologist, I never reported this to the medical society. But this could give a lot of allevations to asthmatics.

In business as well as in other professions people are encouraged to think out of the box. In medicine, we seldom do that for fear of malpractice suits and rejection of our colleagues.
