In reply to the discussion: If a friend at school gave my daughter prescription meds [View all]JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)82. You ever had an asthma attack?
If its a bad attack, you can't ask anyone for anything. You can barely inhale.

There is a person in front of you who can't breathe. They appear to be having an asthma attack. You have an inhaler.

Suing someone will definitely force the hospital to fire someone who is not competent.
