In this heartfelt episode of Asthma Friend: Breathe Easier Together, we shine a spotlight on the often-overlooked role of nurses in asthma care. From hospitals to school clinics, nurses are often the first to identify breathing difficulties, administer emergency medication, and support patients through some of their scariest moments.
I also share a deeply personal story, the day I fell from the stairs, suffered internal bleeding, and began having a silent asthma attack. It wasn’t the doctor, but a nurse who recognized what was happening, brought me my inhaler, and helped me breathe again.
This Nurses Day, take a moment to thank the silent protectors who help us inhale calm and exhale fear.
