Just keep the gun pointing down range, there's a good chap.
As for asthma and hayfever, there I agree with you. Mind you I couldn't spell either when I was at school so it was never a problem
A few years ago, several tours in, the SMO gave me a ventiline inhaler. I think it was a new toy and he wanted to see what it would do. I consulted my resident medical expert and I think we left it in a drawer. Too many Docs just seem to try things to get the patient throughput.
