1. THE
BEASTLYHALER
Once upon a time a man was prescribed Buduckinide Dry Powder
inhaler. It was supposed to be an Easyhaler, but because it was
difficult to master it became a Beastlyhaler, an inhaler that became a
beast when the man failed to insert it properly, and when he did put it
in his mouth he started to inhale, but, 'as he was about to the inhaler
let off a horrible stink which went straight into his lungs.
What the man didn't realise was that the inhaler contained sulphur
gas which was to keep the medicine in his puffer pure.
What the man didn't know was that when he sent off a prescription a
stink bomb inhaler was delivered in the post and the carer of his
home sent it up to him in his flat.
The stink bomb gas contained inside the Easyhaler was there for a
purpose - to purify the steroid inhaler powder. Without it the drug
inside the puffer would have turned poisonous resulting in the man's
lungs swelling to ten times their normal size.
The Easyhaler consisted of two jelly babies filled with steroid powder,
and these had to be inserted into the puffer using forceps.
