Words a Lifeguard Never Wants To Hear

"It hurts when I take a deep breath."

Some little girl came up to me and said that this week, and i barely managed not to freak out. Of course I was immediately imagining that one of her lungs had exploded or something XP This is the conversation that went on between us after my initial shock had faded:

me: "Did you hit you ribs on something?"
her: "No."

I paused at this point trying to think of something else that could be wrong with her. Then I got one of those lightbulb ideas.

me: "Do you have asthma?"
her: "Yes."

I was actually kinda relieved that her organs weren't exploding.

me: "Well, do you have an inhaler?"
her: "Yes."
me: "Do you have it with you?"
her: "No, the nurse has it."

At this point, I was thinking: o.k. you knew you had asthma, you knew you had an inhaler, and you knew where it was. Why did you even have to talk to me?!

So I sent her to talk to her counselor and they eventually drove up to the nurse's office and got her inhaler. Crisis avoided!
