From Bob Schwamlein, Kenosha, WI:

The pneumonia shot your doctor may give you will not prevent you from getting pneumonia. It is only for the killer pneumonia.

If you have had a laryngectomy and need oxygen, the paramedics may not realize that they need to put the oxygen near the throat, not over your mouth. Also, if you have special openings that need cleaning, the nurses at a hospital may not always know how to handle them.

In short, don't count on the medical profession knowing everything about how to treat your particular condition.
