“We know a lot about asthma and have a lot of tools to diagnose and treat it, especially in its acute phase.  These     successes cover up our shortcomings in caring for the disease when it is not in crisis.  Asthma is a chronic disease - we should anticipate that denial will affect some of our patients but it should not get the best of us.”
