“Rosenman said the woman had asthma since age 2. Her asthma was poorly controlled.”
IMHO, if she had asthma since she was 2 years old she had ample opportunity to learn to “try” to maintain and minimize any attacks. I find it hard to believe with over 16 years experience with asthma she was never informed of any, or all, potential triggers and to do her utmost to avoid them. The article alludes to her inability to control the disease but stops there. There is a reason they did not expand on that comment or mention any personal identiers. This researcher has found a case to justify his research based on his political agenda.
I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, I’m just recognizing that we’re dealing with a teeager.
And teenagers are often not the most logical creatures on the planet.
I know there have been times my hubby has misplaced his inhaler, and insurance won’t refill right away (a limit on how many they cover over a certain pd. of time)
It would have been interesting, too, if the writer had bothered to look into her coverage.
It is very expensive stuff, and I could see if money was a problem - then a person might be reluctant to go through the inhaler too quickly - developing a tendency to only take a puff when you are already in trouble.

I agree. If no toxicology studies were done on her then how is it possible to blame cigarette smoke as the culprit when it may have been some perfume someone was wearing, or many other things in her environment that could trigger such a reaction. Perhaps the cumulative exposure to numerous triggers finally sent her over the edge.
I also think its more likely that he found another case that DETERMINES his political agenda(with our tax dollars).
