Due to my past, I use the VA for my medical care. The other day I went for my yearly update on Oxygen consumption. In my particular case, I generally do not need assistance but on a humid miserable day, such as it is here in Florida, I do have it available.
Now, one of the requirements of my continuing in the program was that I would sign a statement that I would never smoke around my equipment. I thought that was about as dumb a thing as I could imagine. When I inquired as to why the form, I was informed that one of the other patients had recently been on oxygen and lite a smoke. It burned his entire nose off his face.
Sorry...but that was stupid. Sadly though, it could have been a pitiful individual who was not even coherent.
Who know...but nose gone.
