Completely off topic of this off topic subject -- when we were in ER waiting room with son and possible ana reax, I was at intake desk trying to get the intake person to give us some priority and up strode some "I know everything" doctor (had on hospital ID but was NOT on duty) who insisted that
unless my son had
obvious breathing difficulty,
he was most def NOT in anaphylaxis.
(Son had vomiting, hives, and impending sense of doom . . . was exposed to unknown something at school)
That was 2009.
(I nearly choked the guy and then he would have been in
asphyxiaxis -- word made up).
That was in big name hospital in supposed big name state with whoo-wah medical.

My point being,
DEFINITION of ANAPHYLAXIS and
RECOGNITION
and
TREATMENT
needs some gosh-darned standardization and there needs to be BIG ed push as to medical care: FARE?
