not being able to breathe

NOT BEING ABLE TO BREATH

ive never had this issue before

the closest ive ever come is getting hit playing football where i got the breath knocked out of me

thats a scary feeling of not being able to take in a deep breath when your body wants more oxygen

in my medical career i took care of a lot of asthmatic patients

most were kids

it was hard to watch them sometimes struggling to breath while getting maximum oxygen and maximum breathing treatments

i use to tell parents if you want to know what its like then do this

take a straw

pinch your nose

now

walk up and down a long stairs

see how hard it is to get air in and out

you arent getting enough oxygen 

your body is retaining carbon dioxide

if you kept going with the straw in your mouth and your nose pinched 

you would pass out

i just tried this with the straw above pinched my nose and walked up and down the stairs here at our condo 

luckily it was dark and no one could see me walking with that yellow straw and pinching my nose

i didnt last long before i took out the straw and unpinched my nose and took a long deep refreshing breath

now

before you read the rest of this 

go do this yourself to see what its like if you cant get enough oxygen in your lungs

that feeling is 

what asthmatics get

what copd or emphysema patients get

what congestive heart failure patients get

that anxiety that you get right before you take the straw out of your mouth and unpinch your nose

that anxiety 

that fear that they will smoother to death

its what you see in their eyes

those of us who have taken care of those patients know that anxiety look

now

when you hear the news of the amazon burning

think about this

those are our lungs burning down in south america

apparently it the amazon produces 20% of the worlds oxygen

if that keeps burning like that then our old earth may be like those of you who put that straw in the mouth pinched the nose and walked up and down the stairs

this doesnt even consider the massive pollution in the air from these burnings

if you are an asthmatic in central and south texas you know what this may be like when they start those massive crop burnings in central america that send its smoke up over half the state

you all know cause yall cant breathe when that happens

if the amazon keeps burning earth that means us will be screaming 

i cant breath i cant breathe

we cant afford to let this happen to us

we cant just unpinch our nose or take a breathing treatment to make it better

if the oxygen aint there

it aint there

why is this happening down there

crazy politicians

greedy folks

drought 

climate change

deliberate burning

so the treatment for this earths breathing problem 

is to fix those six things above

or

we all might be like those with straws in their mouths and nose pinched and walking up and down stairs not being able to breathe or those with chronic breathing problems

no wonder the world is upset

we most of us understand what this means to all of us
