Mrs. Cason brings her 10-year-old son to the clinic, claiming that her son “just isn’t breathing right, he doesn’t want to play, he just sits on my lap or lays on the couch, and this happens all the time.” ” Both the mother and the child have a sloppy appearance. The wheezing of the child can be heard from the other side of the room. When asked if her son is better at any particular time of day, the mother replies, â€Itâ€TMs like this all the time and has been for the past year, we just donâ€TMt go to the doctor because we donâ€TMt have any money.â€
