Bag Valve, Mask

When I was in the Explorers, my Post was a Medical unit with a very experienced doctor as our mentor.
So, a group of stoners with a few interested in medicine.
Okay, I was interested in learning all I could about medicine.

And in the ten years I was with Rocky Mountain Rescue, \
I got lots of practice.
I used to joke that delivering a baby was the only thing I had never done,
Which is not to say I was I was an unwilling participant in 7th grade,
when our science teacher collapsed in the classroom doorway as the
freoght train  her baby was on came a rushin on!
Oh, the things that lady screamed!


Yeah, made a huge impression!

Anyway, sorry about the rabbit trail!
So, one piece of equipment I had learned was a bag, valve, mask.
Really useful when people stop breathing!
So, with all of my lung problems,
I ordered one.

It came today,
Super simple to use
And with my breathing difficulties,
Smooths my rhythm right out!

Now when will I be getting my oxygen?
